Sit Joe Burrow?

[Bengalholic]

Zac Taylor said the Bengals had a particularly good week of practice and Joe Burrow looked great.

It is the right stance to trust the coaches & training/medical staff until they are proven wrong. They’ve got great history

I guess we will see what happens against the Ravens.  If Burrow looks anywhere close to as bad as he looked in week 1 we almost have to hope that he's hurt and they're playing him against good logic.

How do i know if it's a totally shitty thread or something that has a thought provoking point, simply off the title?

I think the title gave away that this thread had a hint of foolishness. 

And it got to 3 pages with solid poll participation, so I give the op props

The title itself doesn't imply that it's a bad thread. It could have been asking hypotheticals and positive and negatives for Burrow and the Bengals. 

In hindsight, it's probably not as bad as i reacted but it's not so much about pros and cons as it is an opinion that he should sit out "a few weeks" and let Jake Browning "maintain" the offense. 

There's nothing to indicate Burrow needs to sit out several weeks and there's little chance that Browning could do much maintaining. Burrow has a bad week. It wasn't because he simply couldn't move around. In his current state, he's miles better than what Browning could provide. 

The OP gave his opinion and i gave mine. Pretty much tit for tat and no one was harmed in the process. 

[*rfaulk34*]

I don't know why anything other than he was rusty from no preseason/TC snaps and the weather was terrible needs to be said. 

All the questions about a lingering injury are silly. If he wasn't physically able to play in an NFL game, the team is not going to put him out there. It's not like if an injury happens again he's just going to tweak it, come out, rest for a few weeks and then come back. He would have the possiblity of tearing a muscle or rupturing his achilles. 

There's a lot of common sense that gets thrown to the side sometimes...

Well I know this for certain:

If JB looks good, it's because of JB

If JB looks bad, it's because of Zac

It's always easier to blame the guy who is over a dozen games under .500 without the other guy in question, I'll admit.

This board has been hurting my head since that loss to the Stains that wasn't entirely unexpected.

Burrow needs to tough it out and go into the rest of the season with a new mind set is all. That first game wasn't him
just not being ready physically, it was him not being ready mentally, going into Cleveland the one team that gives him
trouble without reps, with an OL without reps, a rain storm, with a HC that starts out slow and a bad haircut.

Dude will be fine, watch him play the game of his life against the Ratbirds Sunday.

Wow the OP is a genius.

[Marlon23]

I wouldn't say he is a Genius but dang he nailed it with Joe Burrow still not being 100%. So he is close to being a Genius.

only 6 of us agreed to 57

Should've sat Week 1. Wasn't quite on it today, but clearly more with it. Unless the injury has regressed, you can't really sit him in week 3. For me, a poll which is two weeks too late.

Nothing worse than playing your star when he is not ready.  And it is clear now that he was not ready and now appears to have done more damage. it is a shame.

Sorry missing open WRs is not being injured

it is evident that Burrow is not 100% and has not been 100% and the probability of him being injured due to not being 100% is greater than not being injured. It is ok for you to state what you think is correct even though the facts prove your statement to be inconsistent with the situation which has occurred.  Take Care Essex.
