The "poor start" thing is such a lazy narrative.
Burrow has literally dealt with something ever year since his rookie year. Knee, wrist, apendectomy, strained calf, etc.
They start slow because he has started slow. And its not like this team has started 0-4 every year to start the year. They've been OK.
2021: 3-1
2022: 2-2
2023: 1-3
2024: 0-4
Like I get it, more urgency would be a great thing...but its been a couple years of slow starts...mainly due to our QB not being able to move from the pocket for half the year and him recovering from/having to learn how to deal with a rare significant wrist injury.
