It's great to have an elite wideout, but at what expense? A Franchise QB whos career was ruined due to injury or as we see now being Carr'd? Selling out for 1 year of success I get, but at what cost to the QB?
That's why the debate still rages amongst many fans. Would Burrow be getting slammed and mocked throughout the sports world and fanbases if his protection was on point? I'd argue what many continue to argued in that a protected Burrow wouldn't need an "elite" receiver to succeed, in fact, an elite QB would make a mid round receiver "elite" as many have done in the past.
A single wide receiver can impact the entire game. One offensive lineman cannot. I guess that is my point in the simplest form.
