Nothing that anyone has in any stat sheet or anywhere in the twitterverse shows what happens in the alternate reality world where they draft an OL in round one that plays at a high level. We have no idea who they draft after that, we have no idea who builds chemistry with Burrow, perhaps Boyd goes over 1K and is the focus, perhaps the line gives more time and there is less sacks and a better running game.
It's just flat out wrong to say without one guy the team isn't winning unless that one guy is the Joe Burrow.
Sewell wasn’t even the best rookie offensive lineman, arguably not too 3. If you want to argue we screwed up not taking Humphrey or Smith I’m here for it and think that could have been enough to win the SB. Without Chase every defense plays us differently and frankly Burrow isn’t as good. Chase is a top 10 WR in the league right now, no one thinks Sewell is a top 10 or even 20 tackle.
Taking Chase off this team is in line with taking Adams, Hill or Kupp off their teams.
