Do you think they'd trust Brady or Mahomes? Not that Burrow has to be Brady or Mahomes, but is this philosophy (they would still play "prevent offense" with those QB's), or is it trust?

If it's trust, then it's safe to discuss why or how they've come to this.

If it's philosophy then this isn't about Burrow it's about coaching philosophy. 

So I guess if anyone could clarify their points (if they believe it's trust of philosophy) it'd add to this discussion. 

I don't feel like it's a matter of trust, at all. Zac was recently quoted after the Giants game on being disappointed that Brown took that last TD run the distance. Zac wanted to hold the ball and run out the clock. He wants to leave nothing whatsoever to chance. In other words, he's playing not to lose.

In my opinion, that is the wrong attitude to have given the team that he has assembled. The are a scoring team, not a ball control team. If he wants to be ball control, he needs to bring in the correct personnel for the job, and improve the defense along the way.
