Palmer came back to start the season with
LT Jones
LG Steinbach w rookie Whitworth
C Braham
RG Williams
RT Anderson
TE Reggie Kelly

Compare that to Burrow's line next year and then you will see why the two timelines should not match up. Palmer limped for months behind that line before he was even close to normal. He could be back in time to start the season but I'm expecting on a mid-season return or nothing next year from Burrow.

For this reason, among others, I do not want to see Joe Burrow back under center until 2022. If Joe plays behind the same offensive line in 2021 the exact same thing will happen to him all over again. Sometimes the truth is hard to accept but the Cincinnati Bengals do not have a solid supporting cast around Joe Burrow and by this I mean both players and coaches.

Albert Einstein once defined insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
