I do agree with the more balanced attack, but then you look at the numbers and the best teams in the league are passing about the same amount we are. Like it or not, it's a passing league. We paid a guy 275 million to pass the ball. I guess that's where the disconnect is. I don't want a guy like that handing the ball off to a middling RB that trips over his own feet more than he's tackled.
Because you literally can't do something and then don't do it because you literally can't is not an adjustment. You've removed something from your game and replaced it with nothing.
I get the Burrow is the guy and we want him to throw it the majority of times. My point on a more balanced attack is more that 1 yes it could help relieve pressure on Burrow. 2 it should become more effective if we make it a point of emphasis. 3 was my main point which is its fine to ask you franchise QB to throw it twice as much as you pass. But to do that in a rookie year with a trash oline and a year where your QB has a calf injury that is very clearly limiting his mobility is an issue. We all know Burrow got his knee injured his rookie year and this year it was his wrist. But he could've gotten injured earlier asking him to throw that much while injured and I'm still wondering if he did and the wrist is something he's been dealing with.
