The experience he's gained starting the past 1.5 seasons has likely helped a lot, but at what detriment to the team?
He's still a below-average starter right now and should not get to hold his starting job just for the sake of growth. If Spain and XSF are both better than him (which I believe they are), they both need to be starting and he needs to be the backup.
Feel the same and even PFF would agree with you even if I do not put a lot of stock in PFF.
XSF was our highest rated OL before he went down, clearly better than MJ and Spain just played very well at LG with hardly
any time to get acclimated to the team.

For the remainder of this season, Burrow should be the priority, even if it means halting other young players development, if their development threatens Burrow’s.
Yes sir, Burrow should be the priority, not just getting young guys snaps cause they were your picks.
