Andy just showed that he wasn’t the problem

Wait, didn't you say you're 'losing faith' in Burrow already, after 5 games...playing behind this shit show of a line?

So you've already forgotten the many passes he missed while having plenty of time and based on a couple throws, you've determined that he "wasn't the problem here". 

Outstanding deductive and reasoning skillz.

Dalton leading the Cowboys back and winning today was the last thing this board needs.... pump the breaks however.

Our former EX-QB has a much better O-line than the one we are throwing out there. No one I believe thinks Dalton actually stinks he's just a super solid back up QB at this point.

I’ll take Burrow over Andy by a mile.

Don't worry. He'll be back on the 'Burrow is the greatest thing since sliced bread' bandwagon right after he throws his next touchdown pass.

And Dallas's starting QB for the foreseeable future with that injury and Dak not under contract next year. No way he gets 40m after seeing that ankle, and is likely a couple years away from seeing the field again.

He made 2 clutch, beautiful throws at the end of the game. He deserves props for that.

It was also something he's done for the Bengals many times, mostly in regular season 1:00pm games.

What it does show is the OL (whether it be the players or the scheme) is the root of the offensive issues. Burrow is a 1OA and arguably one of the best college QBs ever but the clown show on the line is making it almost impossible for him to succeed. Andy is a vet true but you could see the difference in the blocking and the impact - he was able to scan the field and step into his throws.

I am glad we have Joe, if we get him an OL he can become a great QB.

Sadly, the OL issues have gone on now for 3+ years minimum and hard to understand why Tobin, Zac and the coaching staff have been blind to it.

I see guys playing for the Ravens like Orlando Brown, how did we pass on him? Our decision makers simply can't evaluate OL talent. Our OL coaches can't coach them up either.

Couple years? It was an ankle injury likely back next season for better or worse.

He's lucky the foot doesn't need to be amputated. Did you see it? He was rushed straight to the hospital ala Alex Smith. This injury is serious. Significant they say.

Wait, you're looking for consistency...from him?

I thought it was a dislocation. Maybe a break at worst. 

[J24]

He might not have been the problem but he wasn't the solution either. This season isn't over and Burrow has an exciting future for us.

[hoosierbengal]

This will make December 13th a little more interesting when the Cowboys come to town.

[Joelist]

Our OL is the root of the issues. Whether it is the personnel, the scheme or both it has to be fixed.

Andy had actual blocking today and looked great. It let him do his reads and more important step into his throws. The last few years here the interior OL was crap which prevented him stepping into throws consistently. Burrow is seeing the same issue - pressure too quick and no where to step into throws.

BOTH Guards need gone.

Assuming the "blocking" doesn't get him injured yes. 

[Wes Mantooth]

Andy will put up some huge numbers in that offense.

I'm telling you, Dak Prescott is not that good. I think him getting hurt may be a blessing for that franchise. Potentially paying him north of 35 million dollars is pure insanity.

I'm rooting for Andy. I really am. I hope he tears it up there.

In a quarter essentially, with a game winning drive to finish? I'd say pretty good for coming in cold on a new team. 

Now, I'd NEVER take him over Joey B, but yes, it does show he wasn't the issue. Hell, I said that the whole time most fans were crucifying him. Now we're seeing that our savior ain't gonna get it done either until some friggin p***sy on our "oline" can man up and ***** block SOMEONE, ANYONE.

[WiregrassBenGal]

The Cowboys are probably REALLY glad they have Andy. I hope he lights it up the rest of the way.

[Yojimbo]

When’s Dallas’ next prime time game? Get back to me after that.

How did they pass on Claypool too ?
