Tyler Eifert did the same at ND and look how his NFL career turned out.  Burrow and all his  injuries are not the fault of bengals line etc fault.  The calf issue was not caused on a onfield play, it might have been lack of communication between Burrow and med staff that aggravated a injury that Burrow's body caused and the wrist injury is not any clear mistake by the line, it looks a bit like a fluke injury...  In the end QBs get hurt more often in the NFL it is a different level than college and when you start listing all the injuries and other health issues Burrow has had,it seems most are leaning towards Tyler Eifert type:  body, playing position than it does some organizational breakdown.

Eifert isn't a good comparison in my opinion. We do need to step back and look at these injuries. 
His rookie year we have him start behind a trash oline I have coworkers telling me they're going to get him killed. What do the Bengals? Have him pass twice as much as we run literally. Not only that but the play he gets hurt on was a 3rd and 15 (or close) by our own end zone. A play a lot of coaches will take some medicine and either hand it off or dump it off. What do we do with a trash oline it a game he's getting lit up also a game that has absolutely No meaning we try and go for it.

Now sure this year it was his wrist that did him. But after the calf and when he's immobile we change nothing, nothing and I repeat nothing. We still go out there and ask him to throw it twice as much as we run literally. 

Then the calf issue in camp. Someone brought up his Appendix and how it burst. I'm no doctor but the point they were making is the appendix rarely just bursts out of nowhere (I may be very wrong on that) the point is was Burrow ignoring pain. If so we may need to really look at how we approach his injuries. His calf was tight and that's it? Turned out to be more than that. Then I know I've seen him flexing his hand in a fist. I just wonder if he was dealing with some discomfort and blowing it off. 

I realize now that was alot. But I think we tend to forget things later if things turn out all right. But looking back I'm not so sure the Bengals have not put Burrow in some very bad situations. Then they all get a pass because Burrow got hurt and we'll just have to give it another try next year.
