He's still a top 10 QB, but something feels off with him. This dink and dunk play calling is horrid. Now, I'm positive he has the authority to audible, but is he? Has he lost his drive? Is he studying the films like he used too? I have to be serious, when he started with that haircut and dye, the catwalk with the open shirt, and whatever shenanigans he was doing before the season, I started to get concerned about his focus.
Todays Burrow is not the Burrow from 2yrs ago.
Burrow's interception today: My opinion has nothing to do with that. QB's eventually throw IT's. But did you see the drive or spark in his eyes that we normally see? Has his will to win at all cost diminished? Please tell me I'm wrong. Dude is making mad money and we need production for every cent.
If we don't start winning, I see Chase gone. We're not going to pay Chase if the team is not clicking and we have a mad chance at a run.
Part of that could be that it probably isn't lost on Burrow, that this team simply does not have what it needs to to win it all. We all see it, and I'm sure he knows that too in his heart of hearts. Burrow/Chase/Tee is not enough on its own to win a Super Bowl, you need a defence that can have any impact on a game as well. When things aren't going well, he's likely aware that he can't rely on the other facets of the team to turn it around.
I'm also sure the years of taking a pasting must have some impact at some point.
It shouldn't be forgotten that he was on MVP track in terms of his season numbers only a few weeks ago. Certainly dipped recently though.
