Critique of ZT could come in his desperation to play Burrow at anything over 25% because he isn't likely to be able to win with anyone else at QB.  As Bengals fans we've watched backup QBs win games against us over the years, so I don't know why we're so convinced we can't do the same thing on a short term basis.

Still, I can see us being in a situation where ZT knows he needs Burrow out there and Burrow having little to no ability to say no to starting as long as he is able to walk onto the field.  Maybe that's all there is to it.  I know we can't just assume if we sat Burrow in the first 2 games we'd still be 0-2 but he'd be in much better shape right now.
