As a QB, it's easy to evaluate a throw like the pick 6 to Chase. It was a poorly thrown ball and a questionable decision. When the WR isn't on the same page, as a QB you have to wonder why your other two WR's are always doing what you expect. And a couple of those picks to Boyd have been in big time clutch situations.
Not to sound jaded here, but every week we have folks stumping for somebody to get more touches. Mike Thomas and Drew Sample may be the only two skill guys on offense that haven't had people saying they should get more touches. They have a number of good skill players. Boyd will get his when he has a favorable matchup they want to exploit.
Cutting Boyd simply isn't realistic due to the terrible depth at WR behind him, not to mention expiring contracts.
I was trying to figure out why you were saying cutting Boyd isn't an option then I realized my post read like I called Boyd a turd and I was saying maybe Burrow is a turd. But I don't think that. But I'm putting those interceptions on Burrow and maybe you have a point but instead of Burrow not trusting Boyd maybe he doesn't trust himself. It could be Burrow is having trouble seeing all the underneath stuff and gets a little anxious being in the pocket and just throws the ball anyway on a pass that shouldn't be thrown.
