The root cause is protection because some of his best attributes is ball placement and decision making. I'm not saying that all of the picks are a result of poor protection but most are. Everyone has an opinion and I respect that but the play upfront in my opinion is what's holding this team back from its potential. Joe Burrow is a superstar talent even as it sits now in really year one. If hes not in the lineup then you'd have a minimum of 10 losses right now.

I'd absolutely agree with that last sentence. I'm not shitting on Joe at all, just pointing out that he's laid a couple eggs this year. I'd also agree about the play up front holding us back, but at the same time, it's gotten to the point that it isn't absolutely killing us like it has since 2016 either. I guess the Bears game was his worst performance, he was just really bad for a stretch there, but then comes right back and tosses two TDs. Hey, it happens to the best of em.
