Many are upset Burrow isn't forcing it downfield but you have one of the best ever essentially telling you that, no this is the right play. Also, Manning talking about taking a sack in situations versus throwing it and risking anything is another good thing for fans to get. The idea of "can't take a sack" is not really how things are outside of specific situations, sometimes a sack in the right play.
Yeah, sometimes you have to take the lesser of two evils. One thing that always grinds my gears is when fans really dig into the playcalling and talk about how awful the playcalling is when they couldn't tell you the first thing that is going on. I've even been guilty of this. These guys are running plays that you'll see across the league, many are from the same coaching trees or related coaching trees. Is it the playcalling you don't like (IE. "I hate Zac, let me blame him") or is it the execution you don't like? Jimmies and Joes win the games, you can have the best playcaller in the world and have a shit offense because you're squad can't execute.
