Is Burrow Injured Badly?

He's the first QB ever to throw 150 passes in the first 4 games, and be going at under 5 yards per attempt.

Yes, Joe Burrow is injured badly. It’s obvious. He can’t move. Besides the obvious calf issue, Joe is getting body slammed multiple times every game. He’s hitting the turf hard, early and often. This kazillion dollar offensive line and their inept coach isn’t doing Joe any favors either.

Letting Joe continue to start is bordering on abuse.

Nope, he's handcuffed by Zac's playcalling.

OK, I'm not sure he's hurt as much as he's damaged.

These other NFL coaches are not stupid.  They can clearly see Burrow is a sitting statue back there with no ability to move.  They are going to pin their ears back and come after him every down.  What is Burrow going to do?  He isnt going to run so he is an easy target and he isnt going to beat a defense throwing deep so he scares no one.  Defenses see Burrow as easy pickings right now and that is what he is.  Having Burrow out there hurts the team because the offense cant do anything with him at QB.  I dont care how much he is being paid, he needs to sit the bench.

Joes not injured badly. He’s ruined. Rodgers didn’t play this bad with the calf. It’s a dark reality that hit this season, and if we were honest there was no way he was going to make it 5 years anyway. We said his rookie year he couldn’t take this beating long or his career would be shortened. You hear that clucking outside of paycor. The chickens are home.

His fall is steep but foreseen. I can’t see the Burrow of old ever returning. The window is closed.

We’ll be chasing the 21-22 seasons for the next 5 years.

He should have been an incentive based contract, like 20 million for winning the Super Bowl, but that's not how the league works. Letting Tee feel like he could actually be here long term, keeping Bates or Von Bell.

If you're that good you would have earned the 50 million anyway. Guaranteed contract makes sense because of the insane amount of money the NFL pulls in, but it has an effect on other players and the player themself. Imagine Zac sitting a 55 million QB to a backup who makes 800K that may play well. How do you compare a 800K QB to a 55 million dollar one lol. That money has created issues, but how much, nobody knows. His physical injury is the major problem, creating mental issues it seems too.

Stats for the year and he ranks near the bottom in almost every matrix. Really bad.

The first play of the second quarter, Burrow’s arm got hit and they originally ruled it a fumble and then it got reversed, but did Joe hurt his shoulder or elbow on that play?

It looked bad and then every pass I remember seeing was floated to the receiver and had no zip.

Is he ok? Did they say during or after that he’s hurt?

Is Burrow going to get Bungalized?

He looked fine after that play. But he is going to do some upper body damage if he keeps trying to throw using only his upper body.

I didn’t realize they had the exact same injury. Are you their doctor? Let’s hear more about it. Appreciate people with inside info posting. Thanks!

Are we going to tank again for the top spot in the draft?

There’s a reason they’ve been in contact with each other. You don’t need me to tell you that. This old news.

Just wondering, if Burrow missing all preseason was supposed to heal his calf, and that didn't work, you really think him not playing a couple weeks now will? I think it's possible something in his leg is worse and they will wait for end of season to announce it, which could be in a couple weeks

I don't think we'll hear an honest report about the extent of Burrow's injury until it is announced as a response to the question "Why would you make zero changes following a disastrously disappointing season?"

People doubt the existence of The Curse. If you don’t believe now, you never will.

Curse my ass Burrow was cloned and he was sent to the dimension where the Bengals has won 16 Superbowl rings since 1968. While we got the clone that plays like crap and makes silly decisions.


There is no CURSE it is bad choices made by the head coach and front office to play an injured player just to put people in the seats to recoup some of that 275 million. I know I have been screaming sit him out since he was injured and to not let him play till fully healthy it would have been the smart move, he would most likely be back by now fully healthy. We most likely would have a better record than now as well. But these simpletons are going to play him every game the rest of the season weather he heals or not.

So we're 6 days away from another disaster.

In all fairness, only 50% of the games this year have looked like near instant disasters with a QB playing at 25% capacity and leading to a completely uncompetitive game.  Perhaps sunday's game in AZ will the be proverbial rubber match.

No, I dont think anyone realistically thinks that sitting him until the Niners game will magically heal his calf, but that ploughing along this same road where we're just sending a limited QB out there to start and risk further damage, is a bad idea.

Maybe there's more to it than they're letting on, who knows. But what we do know is the calf is clearly still an issue, and Burrow can't play properly. It's not like we're getting great production out of him. What is the purpose of sending him out there week after week?

He does not pump fake to get WR open. He does not jump and throw over D-linemen outstretched hands which leads to tipped passes. {Even Tenn. RB knew to do this} But Burrow will stand flat footed and throw directly at a lineman he could sidestep as well to open lanes, but he doesn't. I do not think the guy gets corrected on anything they said when they drafted him Joe is the smartest one in the room that is when the head coach OC and QB coach was in the room. They treat him like that nobody try's to get the guy to change stuff to improve. What they always say is Joe is the hardest worker on this team and he is harder on himself then any coach can be. I truly think Burrow is smarter than Zac the OC and QB coach that is why he will never excel under this coaching staff.
