He had a HC who had no business being a HC.
Ty Detmer gets hurt and they put Couch behind a oline made of cotton candy.
What happens. Couch gets hit the most times of any NFL qb that year.
Couch got beat up.so had his career got shortened from the beating.
Why did he get beat up. Cause his front office  failed to build a oline to protect him.

Burrow can say in public he likes being hit its football. But all it takes is one hit to.the knee or elbow
And it's good bye franchise QB.no QB enjoys getting hit over and over.

Big, big difference--Couch was scared to death in the pocket and Joe ain't.  Also, Couch was just not that good.

I'm not saying go on and let Joe continue to get beat up but you're comparing apples to elephants.    So, sorry but no, just no.  Can we keep comparisons to the somewhat reasonable?
