Because there were a LOT who were and now many of those same people who were complaining want the Bengals to go back to slinging the ball.
For what it's worth, I would love to go back to slinging the ball all over the field.
Me personally I'd love to run the rock 30-35 times a game, and pass the ball 25-30 times a game.
Less opportunity for Burrow to get injured and when your paying a RB $12M a year get some use out of that work horse for the funds your paying him. I do agree with some that Mixon isn't a work horse. You can't run him 25-30 times a game for 17 games. I'm not a fan of Perine. Maybe Evan's could be a good complimentary piece.
However, if you expect Burrow to sit back there and attempt to throw the ball 40-45 times a game, you're going to get something on him hurt again. I'm not sure what but the dudes like a statue in the pocket right now. He has 0 mobility. He has a sus OL. So why even put him in that situation.
