It is great that Burrow does well under pressure, but again you are comparing apples to oranges. If Burrow was under pressure more because he held onto the ball longer then it has nothing to do with the O-line. In fact it would make the o-line look worse instead of better.
Part of the reason Burrow had to hold the ball longer was because of all the pressure, forcing him to scramble and find a receiver while avoiding being sacked. Honest question...did you watch any LSU games this year? If you did, then you obviously saw what I'm talking about, and you saw it on a fairly regular basis...which is why I agreed completely with this PFF assessment:
'Burrow has not had an ideal scenario in regard to his pass-blocking unit – while it could be worse, it could certainly be better, as he has spent nearly 31% of his dropbacks under pressure.'
