Agreed, the false narrative is trying to explain or rationalize Luck's perceived early retirement stemming from the number of times he was sacked. Luck directly stated:
This quote reveals that what matters is how Luck felt. How Luck felt is more important when trying to rationalize "Burrow will go the way of Luck" than the number of times Luck was sacked. Since Luck and Burrow are two completely different people, it's not a given that Burrow will go the way of Andrew Luck by retiring, what fans might label as, too early. I don't think it's worth speculating on this though since we have no idea what Burrow might think or feel about it in the seasons ahead.
All that said, it's also easy to understand why people bring up the career of Luck after watching Burrow get sacked so many times. People are reacting emotionally out of concern for Joey B's health and playing career; they worry Burrow might call it quits too early. It's not a bad thing that fans try to make sense of Burrow taking the hits by looking at other QBs who've been down the ugly road of sacks, injury, and taking brutal hits. The Luck/Burrow comparison isn't about sack volume, but rather how the dude feels about the hits and subsequent pain and injuries.
Anyhow, whether or not Burrow is Andrew Luck Part II doesn't negate that our OL needs improvement.
Quote:"For the last four years or so I’ve been in this cycle of injury, pain, rehab; injury, pain, rehab. And it’s been unceasing and unrelenting both in-season and offseason. I felt stuck in it. The only way I see out is to no longer play football. It’s taken my joy of this game away. I’ve been stuck in this process."
