My point is our OL has also started very slow the past few years. One of the greatest QB's of all time MaHommes was too busy running for his life in 2021 Super Bowl. I would argue Joey B. was harassed by the Steelers in 2022, but Joey B. still almost won the game, if not for an injury to Clark Harris, likely we kick the extra point and beat Steelers in regulation.
That game showed me that Burrow's horrid days are better than some NFL QB's best days. He throws a pick 6 and I believe 3 interceptions against a very good Steeler's defense, yet puts team in a position to win the game. I would guess many would not even remember that game a year ago if we won. I believe we also gave up 7 sacks, I am hopeful our OL plays much better too against the Browns, if so, I think Joey B. will be fine.
Our opening 2 games will not be easy, 2 very good defenses waiting for us.
To your point, I will quote this from my previous post...

Yes, he has dealt with some bad offensive lines. But the difference between those first few weeks vs. the rest is quite stark. Is it random coincidence? Sure, it could be. It is a small sample size, but it's there.
