Luck was battered so much from having such a porous OL.

Burrow had the 2020 ACL tear that took him out the rest of that year, but he's played the entirety of 2021 and 2022, going deep into the playoffs both times. He got (way) further than Luck ever did.

Burrow's current injury wasn't from being hit. It was from basic running around.
It's possible Burrow just didn't stretch enough the day in practice it occurred and he rushed back before it fully healed.

Could this end up being a lost season when all is said and done? Sure, but we have at least another month to go before jumping to such a conclusion.
But would I fully expect this to be a lingering issue beyond this year and label Joe Burrow "injury prone" because of a calf strain? Absolutely not.

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.

He's been through one torn ACL, but that's about from a "big injury" perspective.
Appendectomy was a non-football-related thing.
Calf strain is not some severe thing, although it could linger some this year.
