Why not keep Andy as a backup?

A weak line is not going to make Burrow a better choice. The game speed in the NFL is much faster.  The last thing the team needs is any QB running for his life.  That's how injuries happen.  Andy needs to be released and the line needs to be improved.  

Right...I literally mentioned 2015. It was obviously an outlier though.

Yes it does make Burrow the better option. Dalton’s pocket presence is terrible, and his inability to extend plays kills drives. We need a QB like Burrow who can make something happen while scrambling, not throw it out of bounds 9 times out of 10. Ofc the speed of the NFL will be an adjustment, but he played in the SEC against the best competition in the country (and Clemson), so that’s a good start.
