No.
Do I agree with the Bengals cutting Collins, who could have been better at RT than Jonah once he was ready to return?
No.
Do I think Jonah is the best option they have at this point?
Yes, unfortunately.
The Bengals did do something to try to improve the OL - they added Orlando Brown. He's been the best OL so far.
Cappa is doing well, Karras is solid.
They had opportunity to bring in a true solid-to-above-average LG in Dalton Risner, and they chose to stick with Volson.
They had opportunity to address RT in FA or the draft, and they chose to stick with who they had (possibly due to $$).
Does that mean that Burrow is now a shell of the LSU National Champion?
No.
A calf strain is not some severe career-altering injury.
It's something that can happen to anyone and take a couple months to heal. It might need an offseason. It might mean a down year.
But it's not something that should need surgery and is now going to make him be worried about taking hits or turn him into a tree taking snaps the rest of his career.
Although maybe I'm wrong and Burrow will retire in a few years, just like Luck retired after 6 seasons played in the league.
Actually,I wouldn’t fault Burrow if he did retire in a few years,considering what he’s been through.But honestly,I don’t think that will happen.
