Instead of reading defenses and finding the open receiver, his thoughts are cluttered with NOT injuring the calf, in NOT running with the ball when there's a wide open lane; his thoughts are so focused on ignoring things he usually just does with no thought behind it that it's clearly affecting his mental processing.
How do you not understand that?
I mean, Burrow literally ran for a first down on Sunday, could've had a huge run, but slid after only 2 yards because he's so concerned with not injuring his calf worse. I mean, it's so obvious anyone should be able to see it.
Hell, Arden Key said after the game that Joe was a 'sitting duck' out there. Even worse, the pressure was causing constant issues despite a number of 2 step drops and only 4 passes being thrown over 10 yards. When you combine a injured QB with no mobility with that type of pressure...the results aren't going to be pretty. But, I guess it's just easier for some to ignore all that and just say Joe is washed up .
