I was going to say that pass protection is marginally better, but Burrow actually has essentially the same time-to-throw that he did last year (2.65 last year vs 2.67 this year). Again, not all of the pressure is on the offensive line, but even if someone wants to argue that the line is improved, they have to concede that it hasn't improved much and that it still isn't very good. It's still a weak point.
I really thought time to throw would be better than that, considering all the deep throws we've hit. Maybe we were attempting them just as much last year, but not hitting them? I know it was a rough year on deep throws.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
