I guess I am in the minority, but I think both AJ and Burrow are at fault and each share some blame. Burrow flat out missed AJ who was open by 5 or 6 yards on a throw to the endzone against the Chargers, a game we lost. After the game, Burrow said something like every high school QB can make that throw and took the blame. AJ was also called for a PI call on a TD catch in the same game which would have been game winner. Was it PI? Yes, it was but Mike Williams got away with same crap 3 times in same game so disappointing those no calls and then a call as Burrow led a great drive, AJ ran a great route and both were penalized as was our team with a loss.
On the other hand, AJ does not get separation as he has done in the past. His burst is just not there yet, maybe gone forever or maybe working his way back from the ankle injury a year ago. Also, Joe made a horrible decision to throw under pressure the interception intended for AJ, he missed he bad,but then AJ did not go make the tackle, he was too busy pouting in my opinion. I questions AJ's work ethic right now.
So, I see both players are to blame, but give a little more to AJ since he is the vet and Joe is the rookie. But neither shares no blame.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
