We have to lose the mindset that if our main quarterback goes down, the season is automatically lost. I used to think that way as well but when I realized that’s Mike Brown’s philosophy I rethought the whole issue.

ZT playing Burrow those first few games....lordy.  Either ZT has no idea how to gauge the health and ability of his QB, has no idea how to get a backup ready or has no ability to judge the ability of Browning (who ended up being better than a decimated Burrow...go figure) or he wanted to sit Burrow and he was cowed into compliance by someone else, or he just figured "screw it, I can't win without Burrow out there, so it's worth the risk."  No aspect of that looks good.  Add in that playing a hurt starting QB out of desperation is something a HC who is on the hot seat would do and we all know ZT is here for a long time.  I still can't wrap my head around this other than the simple idea that ZT is just being reckless with a gift he was handed.
