Kevin's right. If there's No blocking, Burrow will get killed. Of course with NO blocking, the Bengals will have negative net yards. With NO blocking, this would be the most lopsided game in the history of the NFL. Somehow, I think Kevin's theoretical proposition will fail, as on the kickoff, I'll bet my life savings, whether the Bengals receive or kick off, some member of special teams will block somebody.

If our team is getting blown out beyond recovery, then yes... I would pull Burrow and some other starters out Kevin.
Other than that, Burrow is staying in unless he gets noticeably gimpy or beaten down.

Fans need to stop acting like Burrow is made of glass. Last year the following QBs had more knockdowns (QB hits + sacks) than Burrow's 81 and did not get injured
Cousins........123
Wilson..........122
Ryan............121
Herbert........110
Watson........ 98
Tannehill...... 90
Mahommes.. 87
Stafford....... 85
Brady.......... 84
Injuries are often just bad luck. NO quarterback can play without taking some hits.
