The book on him was always to go for the strip on him when he took off because he held the ball way too far away from his body. When you combine that with his INTs that weren’t awful but not great you had a guy who gave away plenty of games.

As to the Oline thing he actually created a lot of his own sacks beyond the Oline. Burrow does this at times too, but this is where the careless with his body thing comes in.

Bottom line, for being “generational” he never actually did anything “generational”. He was a good QB who was probably not as good as the hype and couldn’t carry a team. We can’t both say a guy is generational then start complaining about his lack of supporting cast, that’s kind of the whole idea about being generational you rise above that

That is fair - Agree 100% w your last part. 

I just think they failed miserably to get talent and protection around him.    He walked away from 60 Million for a reason
