If you're going to draft a QB at 1OA and spend money in free agency, you focus that money on beefing up the o-line as much as possible. You overspend on a G and T, not a CB. The defense could have waited till 2021 to address. Protecting your franchise QB in his first year should have been priority 1, 2 and 3. Going into the season thinking Jordan and Hart were good enough options, and a mediocre XSF would solidify the line...it was just irresponsible and incompetent, whether Burrow got injured or not.
I said this all last off-season. They didn't address the OL, they didn't do enough to address the WR room, and they didn't address their RB depth.
What's even worse is they had the perfect fall guy for not winning this year in Lou. If the offense was humming, you could just chuck him under the bus and can him at the end of the year. It wasn't like he was their first choice, anyways.
