We forget to mention during that span the average depth of target was around 3 yards. It was a super limiting offense because Burrow could not put any pressure on that calf.
Absolutely. Is going shotgun 100% of the time an issue? I would say yeah. It's not ideal, you're missing a rich variety of offense by not going under center. However, that was a byproduct of Burrow's injury, and Burrow's injury is also what caused the offense to suck. He had a very limited ability to throw the ball. It's now ballooned into this big debate about the two looks when it is simply an exception that occurred due to injury.
