It's a passing league

I don't expect a heavy pass offense with what we seen in the pre-season but I also expect Burrow to have a decent amount pass attempts around 30 to 35.

Honestly, while 30 to 35 is a more balanced and better number, the problem isn't just attempts.

I saw briefly another poster going on about QBs that did it and survived, but what that fails to mention is none of those guys stood back there in an empty set with no RB and 5 wide over and over tossing the rock. 

Standing there empty set for 40 passing attempts each week is just dumb. It may work in college, but in the NFL CBs can cover better and if the DL knows the run isn't an option and can tee off, they will get home. 

40 attempts might not be an issue if there was play action involved and a RB in there to pick up the blitz or at least slow the line down on their rush.

My statement about the 40 attempts getting Burrow injuried again is a direct coorelation to the fact that most of those attempts will come with no RB or the RB being split out wide. I know Burrow is supposed to be more comfortable in that set up, but that will not work in the NFL.
