The long term fans have every right to question the FO's decision. But do we really have the right to question the integrity of Joe Burrow to satisfy our own ego?

Nice to see a fan step and defend Joe B.

The reality for the team is we need a lot better coaching, but we also need to catch a break once in awhile. The injury bug killed us again as our #1 pick from 2020 and overall goes down, our 2019 #1 pick goes down (again) during the season, our top free agents either never played like Waynes or played very little (Reader), Dunlap did not pan out, Geno played hurt when he played. Green, well AJ was not close to the AJ of the past so huge mistake made franchising him (on the FO and not the HC).

I have been critical if ZT, but he did have them playing hard (until week 17 or was that due to talent levels as we were decimated with injury). How many games do we win if Joe B. is healthy) and some of the key players and FA's signed played all year? We will never know, we do know we need a lot more depth, in some cases more talent so our starters become the back ups so as injuries do occur, we have bck ups who ca n step in. 

If you are MB and the FO, it appears they are taking the blame off ZT due to their decisions and due to injury. Now, we will judge the off season again and see if the FO is aggressive (again) in FA and how well they draft.

A new year should bring new hope, I get why it won't for a vast majority of the fans, but if Joe B. is optimistic of the coaches and the FO, then I will trust the man leading this team in the locker room and on the field.
