The only reason he is going to stay is because Burrow looked great as rookie and the team really plays hard for him.  If he can fix his staff, he might be a pretty good coach

Except why did Burrow get hurt? Because of a bad OL and a bad offensive playcaller. That's part and parcel of some of the reasons this team is bad. Most of us had already seen before the start of the season that Burrow wasn't going to last behind the OL they were going to trot out there, and most of us saw him throw 61 attempts in Week 2 and knew that having him throw that much was going to make the problem even worse.

Sure enough, he had thrown 34 passes in barely over a half (a half and 3:19) and got hurt because of a terrible player who didn't belong starting on an NFL field.

Can't talk about imaginary wins if you're refusing to acknowledge the real issues that made those wins impossible to get.
