If Burrow is 100% then he's regressed overnight more than any QB in history. I think it's as simple as not wanting to give the injury status away.
As for the poll... Joe Burrow gives us the most chance to win, even if heavily injured. We've actually won a game with him at QB already this year. Browning... nobody has any clue what he'd do, but it likely wouldn't be good. We could play McCarron, but he's seen next to no game time since he LAST played here... so chance's are he'd not be great either.
It's not the same question as 'would I like to see us start Joe Burrow', but he does give us the best shot at winning.
Burrow likely gives the best chance to Win versus Cardinals/Seahawks yet with Historic poor play aka worst yards per attempt
maybe a Backup QB could do just as well. (or not)
Would Burrow playing against Cardinals/Seahawks make him less healthy for the harder 49ers/Bills games ?
Could Burrow taking a 2 game plus BYE week break allow him a Mental reset and to get healthier by not getting hit
against the Cardinals/Seahawks since he is not playing but resting ?
Burrow could then Focus on just the 49ers/Bills with Film etc.
I am not saying that there is a right or wrong option.
It is interesting to think about & the Bengals appear to have chosen the play Burrow route.
