This seems like the discussion we were having with Dalton... and we were good with Dalton but never reached great. So which is it for you with Burrow ? do we have to surround him with a multitude of very good WRS and that will do it even with an adequate line and not much running game or could we surround him with a very good line with a set of two good WRs and a solid running game to be very good.
I have no desire to rehash the same old Dalton debates. But to answer your question, I’d rather have an average to slightly above average OL and elite weapons, than an elite OL and average to slightly above average weapons. Did the Browns beat KC in the playoffs despite having the better OL and running game? I want to be able to hang with best offenses in the league (KC, Tampa, BUF, etc). Just give me an adequate OL, Joe Burrow, and as many weapons as possible.
