If they had taken 2-3 weeks into the season to let him heal then this would not even be a discussion, so since it is a discussion the evidence is clear that Joe was not ready and he was still injured and not just hurt since he RE-Injured the Calf. Most want to declare that he was just playing hurt but the likely hood of re-injuring would seem pretty high and self evident since he actually is hurt once again. And No this is not hindsight. It felt rushed it was rushed and the proof was what was demonstrated on and off the field.
He was a full participant for the entire week leading up to the game as well as before. We have no idea what would have happened even with sitting another 2-3 weeks. It is hindsight because you said nothing about sitting him before week 1.
Like I said before, the doctors talked about how Joe could be feeling 100% fine but reinjury could still occur. There's no way to know when these things are healed even if he sat longer. How did it feel rushed when he took the entire preseason off and it was on the far end of time off that any of the doctors discussed?
If Burrow sits the first 2-3 games, start 0-3, and Burrow doesn't get injured after coming back people like you would complain that we sat Burrow too long and screwed our season. We'd see one of your lovely "Did The Coaches Screw The Season" Yes or No polls. Some people are going to complain and use hindsight to support themselves no matter what because that's what they do.
