The Mitchell Trubisky Steelers and Mason Rudolph Steelers beat the Bengals: Doesn't count! Unfair!
The Ravens beat the Jake Browning Bengals: Doesn't count! Unfair!
We beat the Anthony Brown Ravens, the Tyler Huntley Ravens last year: Counts! We're awesome! Nothing wrong here!
Just seems like a huge double standard.
There's also no way that 8-3 is correct. 2020 alone he lost 4 AFCN games while healthy... both Browns games, first Ravens game, and the first Steelers game. In 2021 he lost to the Browns again (avoided the second game as a backup bowl). In 2022 even if we magically erase the loss to the Steelers because Burrow wasn't 100% he still lost to the Browns and the Ravens.
That's 7 losses even by your strict not-hurt-Burrow standards. More than double your proposed 3.
Since 2021, Burrow is 8-3 when healthy. Why would I count 2020? Totally different team.
I dont care about other teams, I just know that Burrow is a Top 3 QB when heathy and he has proven he can beat anyone.
If you want to be angry and force feed everyone that the team is the same with or without a healthy Burrow go ahead. It is wrong but go ahead. They obviously have improvements to make, but the doom and gloomers look dumb to me without a healthy Burrow.
