So, what's wrong with Joe?

I guess it was Joe Brady that was dropping absolute dimes into buckets. And it was also clearly Joe Brady that was extending plays and giving the WR’s an eternity to get open. I’ve also heard Burrow didn’t know how to take off and rip huge runs before Joe Brady’s scheme taught him how...

I think Brady's scheme definitely created situations where there was no high safety over those deeps balls and it was Brady's scheme that drew up play calls that voided the middle of the field when man coverage was called, which allowed Burrow to run for 30 yards unimpeded.

Your QB is only as good as the plays designed for the offense. You can be the perfect QB with the perfect arm and perfect accuracy, but if your play caller keeps calling all hitches and simple crossing routes that the defense can sniff out, you won't be able to showcase your QB's talents.

I'm all in on Burrow, but I'm not about to discount the value of strong play calling.
