It would be incredible if we could win some games just because, yes, it might hurt our draft position, but I'd rather see us put up some Ws and not be the complete joke of the NFL.
I also have Chase in fantasy and, if he's putting up big games, it helps me and also has to help the team.
Realistically, though, losing more would definitely help us because of the draft.
It's also a dangerous mindset to have a locker room that gets used to losing, but I think Burrow would rally the team in the offseason and get the mindset back to where it needs to be.
I understand the mindset the line needs to improve to help Burrow but you cant really blame the line directly for this year injuries "calf and wrist" , besides other QBs have played with bad lines and not been so injured in their early careers . Sacks are one main metric used in protecting QB , here are a list of HOF to very Good QBs in top 10 sacks per game (100 min) that played 10 years or more : Stafford, Rogers, Moon,Elway, Big Ben, Ryan, Anderson., i think Bengal fans would be happy with the success of those QBs for a decadepr more. Maybe besides improving line, Burrow bulk up to help to stay more healthy.
