The softest part of the schedule is upon us...

He has been one of the most inaccurate QBs in the league so far and has struggled to drive the ball where it needs to go. Mixon has been running well, but the main engine of this offense is sputtering hard. A lot of fans have been saying "The receivers dropped the passes" or "That interception was crazy" which is all true. Let's remove those and see how well he played. If we removed the interception, all of the drops, throwaways, and batted passes, Joe posted an 81 passer rating. It doesn't take much further analysis to know that an 81 rating in the modern day NFL is quite bad. 

Joe has been bad. There is no way around it. It is mostly due to his injury and then you have the terrible weather week one, but he has been bad. He looked great in week two prior to re-injuring his calf. 

Can Browning play at the level Burrow is playing right now? I really don't know. 

If the goal is to win a Super Bowl, I feel like this team needs to take it's chances with Browning and sit Burrow until after the bye. Because they aren't winning a Super Bowl with how Burrow has played so far on a bad calf. It makes it pointless to keep running him out there.
