No Need for a #1 WR

The way I see it is AJ is WR1. He's not getting as open as Burrow would like so Burrow is going to his other options when he needs to.
Thus, he's going to Boyd, the RBs, the TEs, and the other WRs.

When looking at targets, no receiver has more than 20.5% of the target share.
Would there be a receiver higher than 20% if Burrow had an elite guy? Sure.
But would Burrow force-feed that target to like a 40% share, especially if Burrow wasn't highly confident that guy will always catch the ball? I doubt it.

Let's put this debate to bed.
Would it help Burrow to have a Top 5 WR in the league? Yes.
Does Burrow have the ability to spread out the ball if his top 1-2 options aren't producing? Yes.

Burrow is on pace for 4378 yards, 26 TDs, 5 INTs.
Add another 341 rushing yards and 5 rush TDs.

He's doing that without elite WR performance right now, which shows he is willing to spread the ball around.

No matter what any of us feel or say on here,we all know NOTHING will change and ZT will be here all season. He is way way over his head and for him  to say in his post game they are still looking at how to improve the line is all I needed to hear.They have no clue. Each interview he says they are going to do everything in their power to win the NEXT game. I would probably take bets they lose this next game against the jags.Oh my goodness how did we ever get so lucky???
