I don't believe that he is "carried" by his WRs, but I also don't think that your logic in this post works.

If you're throwing the ball into the ground, or 7 yards out of bounds, or 12 yards past the WR, and when you are completing passes it's almost exclusively -3 to 2 from the LoS, it doesn't matter who the WR is. You could have 4 Prime Jerry Rices out there but that wouldn't change that an uncatchable ball is an uncatchable ball, and Burrow was throwing those in spades at the beginning of the season.
