Burrow will always take a lot of sacks because he holds onto the ball longer trying to make a play. BUt Roethlisberger and Russell Wilson have Super Bowl rings and are going to the hall of fame despite taking too many sacks because they held onto the ball to long.
Even Aaron Rodgers led the league in sacks twice because of this style. in 2012 he led the NFL in both sacks (51) and passer rating (108.)
Just to be clear, way too many of the sacks Burrow took were based on very poor pass blocking. He is not responsible for all his sacks, and I want the number to be reduced with better pass blocking.
But as long as we have Chase and Burrow I will live with a few extra sacks because of all the big plays they can make.
