I understand blaming ZT also but when we have success in 4th quarter it is not just our QB... in the end both the coaching and Burrow have to play more consistent, we stink in the 1st quarter including Burrow.
Clearly you didn't read my posts in the thread comparing Burrow to Brady because I was basically arguing the same thing.
Saying he was the reason we struggled because we didn't score most of our points until the 4th is not indicative of how the game actually played out.
We only had 4 drives in the first half and scored on 2 of them. Our first drive died because Chase, once again, dropped an easy first down conversion so it's hard to blame Burrow for that. Burrow did have 1 bad throw that should have been an int but the other, if not for Chase getting hit in the face and slowed down, probably is a complete pass if there's not penalty.
In the second half we have 5 possessions, scored on 2, missed a fg on 1, and did 3 hand offs then a punt on another one of them. I haven't rewatched the game but I'm hard pressed to remember more then maybe 2 throws Burrow missed today and can recall a number of times when he made great throws.
There's little doubt in my mind that if we played to win in OT that we would have scored a touchdown. That obviously means nothing but Burrow was by far the most productive part of our offense today despite the handicaps placed on him.
