If you are Burrow and pressure comes from the left, you move right and look at that you may have brought yourself 2 extra seconds. Burrow is just standing there. NO ONE COULD BLOCK FOR THAT. If he continues playing this crappy we wont win another game. Burrow is the problem here, his lack of movement in the pocket is not allowing us to get a good assessment of them. No o line in the league would be successful blocking for a total statue. Burrow is not extending literally ANY plays with pocket movement. If you get to him hes going down or throwing a pick. How is that on the line? Im not saying we secretly have a good o line, im saying anyone who doesnt have their head up Burrows ass would see this. And this is coming from a guy who Burrow is his favorite QB right now.

You're not wrong here. His pocket awareness and movement was amazing last year. This year he's a bit of a statue. He doesn't look comfortable back there at all. 

I'm beyond pissed what this coaching staff did to him last year by having him drop back 40-50 times a game and get crushed when playoffs were out of reach. If they just had the foresight to protect their investment with a run game, he wouldn't have regressed so much. He can still get it back. But man have we done a great job of proving all the pundits right that we would ruin him. Not to mention his knee injury is serious enough that he may already never return to what/who he was before. The damage has already been done. 

I'm hopeful he can get back to 100% and still manage a successful career. But doubt certainly creeps in. I've had an ACL reconstruction. It's not easy. Your knee isn't the same after. It gets tired, weak, etc. Mine was just ACL. No MCL. No structural damage.
