Burrow doesn't get much help

We decided to move on from Mixon and did replace him with a younger FA. So that is 12 players we have attempted to add that were either drafted high or taken in Free Agency. To say we have not attempted to support Burrow is wrong, maybe we have not done as well with some of the players we supported him with yes and maybe Burrow and his injuries have also hurt the performance of some of the supporting cast also...

Where does playcalling come into any of this? Many posters continuing here have talked how the slow developing plays, running from shotgun with bad personnel, etc. I have to agree with you that the talent is here, but the coaching and playcalling hasn’t helped here as well.
