Problem with sitting Burrow is, "Who's he going to learn from?" He can't learn sitting on the bench with second stringer playing and a coaching staff that tells him the play didn't work because of xyz. He will learn quicker being out there and knowing for himself why the plays didn't work and have a say in changing things. But is the risk worth the reward? Hard to tell. They have to do something to protect this guy.
