With Burrows latest injury. The question has become "is he injury prone"? I have to admit I'm beginning to wonder myself. I mean a calf strain and a torn ligament in his wrist seem like odd/rare injuries for a QB let alone in one season. Then I started to think what steps can we take to protect him? Focus on the run more? Is this even possible under Zac? I mean Zac is great at maintaining players health by taking it easy on they're bodies where he can at practice. Which is great but the one player he seems unwilling to try and protect is the one we can't lose?
I mean his rookie year he has a garbage line and is asked to throw it 40+ times a game gets knee shredded.
Next year gets sacked a ton and again is asked to throw it a ton while coming back from major knee injury ( did go to the superbowl ) but gets dinged up at the end.
Third year more of the same but again goes in not 100% due to appendicitis yet no change at all. Just put Joe out there to get beat to hell until he and the line start to play better.
Then finally this year the calf strain clearly not 100% and again no change. We go away from the run even when it is working and refuse to use other backs and just expect Burrow to throw it a ton.
So is it Burrow or Taylor? We refuse to adjust our game even when all signs point to the fact things need adjusted. I wonder if we've reached a point where the system isn't just worth complaining but needs to change. This is something we really need to look at and it may really need to be time to bring someone else in to take over the offense.
It seems like it might be getting to a point of repeating itself. It's not if Burrow will get hurt its how bad will he get hurt. Something needs to change.
