Higgins fractured rib

It may not cross Burrow's mind but I bet it would for others if they had 210 million sitting there anyway. There is life after football and take into account the expected lifespan of NFL players is not as high as non NFL players. Most players retire before 30. Most are in the league only 3 years. Imagine not being able to walk in your 40s, would it be worth it lol.

Guaranteed contracts a great thing for the player, think Burrow should have had a little more incentive based contract if allowed, like win the SB and get 20 million bonus, but the NFL doesn't work like that especially for QBs. It'd probably make him try and play through injury like he is doing now.

An injured Burrow seems worthless to this team and nobody on the team is able to convince him otherwise. What other teams trotted an injured QB out there for the first game of the season? That quote that this team wins because of Joe Burrow and can't win in spite of Burrow is spot on. He hasn't been able to hide his injury, he looks like he's 50% out there because Zac is limiting him it seems. Maybe they should give him 100% of the playbook so he only has his injury as an excuse left. To me it looks like Zac will play him until he can't walk anymore and has to sit.

I count all these games as Burrow being injured, he's playing but he shouldn't be (based on his performance). I bet this forum is split 50/50 still on if Burrow should be playing even though he looks horrendous...

Lol, you're forgetting that he doesn't just get to keep the money if he retires injured. NFL teams have things in contracts that trigger returns of money, injury settlements, etc.
