There has been nothing in my post about perfection. I want a QB we win because of, not with, and right now we are winning with. In all of our wins we held the opposing team to 16, 13, 17, and 18. Those wins are not BECAUSE of Burrow. We have yet to win a game where the opposing team scores more than 18 points. That’s a problem, not asking for perfection.
I said this before the season began and I will say it again, Burrow simply disappears at times and the defense usually bails him out. Last year in the playoffs we needed a defensive TD to beat Baltimore because the Burrow led offense disappeared. If not for the defense bailing Burrow out, we lose in the wildcard playoff game. In the AFC Championship game the offense scored just 20 points. You cant beat K.C. scoring just 20 points. The defense gave us a chance. Burrow and the offense squandered it especially in the 4th where our last two possessions were an interception and a punt.
Burrow cant count on the defense to bail him out anymore. The Bengals organization has decided to let some of our best players on defense walk so they could use that money on giving Burrow a huge contract and big contracts to others on offense to surround Burrow with talent. Burrow does need to hit another level.
