Breakdown: Why the Offense is Struggling

You're taking a predisposed idea--repeated beatings--and using an injury that didn't even come from contact, to support an argument that is already weak because he's had one major injury and the typical dings that all NFL players endure. Then to top it off, you're using Andrew Luck as an example when the comparison is apples and oranges, doing all of this while Burrow is being sacked at a lower rate over the last season plus, than he was in his first two seasons.

I don't blame you for worrying about Burrow being hit as much as he has to this point but i do blame you for not looking at a non-contact soft tissue injury objectively, seeing how that can affect a quarterback and then using it as a reason to support your position, in the face of all arguments against--some of them coming from a person who actually works in the medical field--to claim that Burrow is now "ruined". 

Yep 

It really has blown mu mind the number of people here who have been crying!! It's over (Burrow's career) trade him, washed up, lets move on, sell the team, he's toast back to the 90's and so on.

The man has taken us much further than anybody in decades and done it at a very high level! And dudes wanna  over a non contact soft tissue injury like there's no recovery from it possible. EVER
