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 have zero qualms about saying it has nothing to do with their trust in Burrow. It's more the philosophy to do things that are more than likely to win games without putting the possession in danger and knowing you have a QB that can come back if it happens. 

It's much easier to be more conservative when you have an elite QB and a kicker who can hit from 58+. It just sucks as a fan who wants to see more aggressiveness and even moreso when your kicker hasn't been as consistent as you'd like. 

After i get back to highlighting the "clutchness" debate, i'll probably look at how many close games were won by just holding the lead. The losses just stand out more and are more easily remembered.
