Things Zac Taylor knew

But even with that said, that logic is rather contradictory to playing football.  Everyone that steps on that field gambles injury.  You could argue some more than others, perhaps a QB with a better Oline is better off, yet with a freak play like we saw yesterday, I'd say that could happen to anyone.  

That's a fair assessment. But I think there's a difference between a calculated risk and a flagrant risk. Taking calculated risks is a part of life. Every time you go outside, you risk getting in a car accident or slipping and falling. These are, generally, unavoidable risks. But there are risks that you can choose to not take to mitigate unnecessary risk. For example, not speeding, not driving aggressively etc. 

I am saying Zac Taylor's insistence to run out an all passing all the time offense with an offensive line as bad as this one was less of a calculated risk and more of a flagrant risk. 

We all want to see Burrow progress and we all want our team to be successful, but that isn't a reason to be careless with your franchise QB. And that is what ZT appears to be when he is calling games the way he is.
