I've been half jokingly calling Burrow the wheelburrow for years, but I must say when he's on IR or the bench or just plain bad this entire franchise reverts to the 1990s. I expect Burrow to be elite more often than not, but I've seen other coaches and teams win or at least look decent when a QB puts up ghastly numbers...have we done that in the ZT era? The defense and running game bails the QB out, right? Maybe it happens and I'm not giving them enough credit, or maybe Burrow is just so unlikely to have bad games that it hasn't had a chance to happen. I guess last year in week 1 Burrow turned it over 5 times and we were still in the mix for the W against the odds.

Anywho, it just seems like the entire strategy of this franchise is "Put Burrow on field" and even by the QB-driven modern NFL it seems rather simplistic.
