Look, I’m not even trying to suggest Burrow should win OROY. Right now literally no one could argue against giving it to Herbert. I think you can make a case for either of them honestly. I’m just pointing out a difference like TE production. Which I think is entirely fair. Hunter Henry is on pace for over 700+ yds, and even their other TE’s are catching TD’s.
We otoh are stuck with a #1TE on pace for 348 yds and 0 TD’s, and little to nothing else behind him. That makes a difference. Uzomah was a bigger loss than some people realize, imo. And he’s really not even that good to begin with. TE is a very weak position group for this team.
i will call a truce.. i know your not a homer but you sure get out there when someone points something out right now that does not bend towards Burrow.. teams are different though.. I have watched Chargers alot since I liked Herbert in College and they don;t run spread as much like the Bengals do.. it is more offense mindset vs bad TEs. I think losing Uzomah hurt for sure.. and i would prefer to use Tate almost like a TE but I don;t think in Taylors system TEs are going to be as important. Hell Big Ben has even disregarded TEs of late... only have like 4 to 5 catches a game for less than 50 yards a game.. they are spread a ton now...
