Yeah it is. He's touched 20 times a game in the first two games. 10 legit hits per game. Today was better but that one hit looked like it will leave some damage. 

Hindsight is 20/20 but it can be instructive as well. I now know it would've been better to sit Burrow for a year and keep Dalton on the roster while we fixed our Oline and improved our defense.
