Why don't he just choose to not get sack?

I said it during his Rookie fucking year. Cinci is going to make his life hell.

How many are from the Browns?

Is it just the o-line or is he taking too long with his reads? Long developing wr play calling?

So you are saying trade him away in dynasty

Does Joe like to read?

I'm not educated on football enough to know this but I've heard some people say sacks are predominantly a QB stat. How true is that really?

Getting sacked in football 8-10 years ago is a lot worse than sacks today. Back then quarterbacks got lit up, now tapping them on the helmet is a flag

Revisionist history. But until Burrow was drafted. Bengals o line was consistently talked about being bottom 5 year over year. Burrow just hid that shit better than Dalton. (Not really, 2 season ending injuries in 4 years get fucked).

look all ill say is i remember the internet boys victory lapping on chase over sewell. interesting how it works out.

i have no dog in this fight, just an observation.

Remember when he told the Bengals to draft Chase?

Luck was a very tough QB but also knew how to find a throw when he was in trouble.

Burrow is very much a "I can probably dodge these two guys and make an even better throw" QB. He can do it a lot of the time, but he'll also take a lot more hits doing so.

Sacks are a QB stat a lot of the time

Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

Burrow also plays against pretty consistently top defenses 6 times a year.

I don't watch much Bengals, but isn't that offense a lot of go routes and 4 WR sets? I imagine he holds onto the ball longer based on scheme alone.

Didn't they choose Chase over an Offensive line player because burrows wanted Chase? Not saying it was a bad idea but this could've changed a lot for Burrows

Our OL was bad but another reason Luck kept getting hurt was because he played like Josh Allen and Cam Newton at times. Issue was while he wasn't small he wasn't as big as either of them and he took a ton of hard hits.

Won us a lot of games but the regular sacks plus those killed him

Alright then

Volson looks terrible. He was getting ejected into burrow at times.

What is this supposed to tell me?

Burrow needs to get the ball out quicker?

Bengals need better OL?

Too many deep routes, need more short passes?

All of this is up to the Bengals.

And Burrow is the HIGHEST PAID QB in the NFL, so kinda hard to build around that from and OL perspective

Deshaun was sacked 174 times in his first 54 games. Just to add another number for the comparison and to show Luck's sack numbers weren't the worst.

Shows you that obj is definitely not worth the 25 mil he wanted

I’ve been sacked 500+ times in apex

People also need to realize how damn good Andrew Luck really was. Statistically, with a much worse team than Allen, Hurts, Burrow, and Mahomes, he was lighting it up. Dude had was throwing piss missiles 600+ times a year for half his career. That is nuts. That puts A LOT of pressure on your QB when they are having to drop back 37+ times on average every damn game. He averaged 4.5 more throws a game than Burrow (roughly 11% more throws). He averaged 5 more throws a game than Allen. He averaged .5 more throws a game than Mahomes. He had much worse teams than the three guys I just mentioned, and he was expected to still throw that much to keep the Colts competitive. That's just wild. Also, it is worth noting that Burrow was on pace to be sacked damn near as much as he was in the 2019 season (with the same amount of dropbacks). I would argue their additions and changes to the offensive line have done NOTHING. Brown is just stealing money from them lmao. He also had less pocket time this year than any other year in his career. Some of that is offensive like play and some of that is Burrow getting rid of the ball quicker. Regardless how you want to view that, it still looks even worse for his o-line. Either they are worse than his 2019 offensive line OR Burrow is getting rid of the ball much quicker on his own and is still getting sacked at a damn near equal rate. He was also being blitzed at a much higher rate this year, which seemed to be working for the most part. He will probably be facing another blitz heavy season next year.

Holy shit, if you read between the lines into this really closely, it basically says that Joe Burrow was sacked more times in fewer games than Andrew Luck.

They need to run the ball more and compliment the offense with passing yards. Pass happy league

Levis: i'll catch you guys by the end of the year!!!!

Dang, this reminds me of the Sewell vs Chase debate.

MF would be the best QB in the NFL, but his line cosplays as Swiss cheese every weekend.

Well my post got removed so I’ll spill the beans here. Have it on strong authority from within the medical community here that he tore his scapholunate ligament which is the main ligament between the hand and wrist used to put snap on the ball and it’s nearly impossible to repair to 100% strength.

There is a significantly higher focus on pass rush now than when Luck played.

I assume most QB’s are probably sacked around the rate Andrew luck was in today’s NFL. 2 sacks a game seems pretty standard.

That's... uhhhhh... thats a lot

Greg cook

And?

The Bengals may not have made it to the Super Bowl if they drafted Penei Sewell over Ja’Marr Chase, but they would have been in a much better spot now. All the draft picks and free agent money they’ve spent on the offensive line has not worked. It would be hard to find another 1,000 yard receiver, but that is far more replaceable than a great offensive lineman.

Burrow does have to deal with both TJ Watt and Myles Garrett each twice every year not counting the playoffs … that’s going to up those sack numbers.

Well at least now he can let the calf heal.

David carr was sacked 208 in 60 games. Only missed 4. I like burrow but his ownership refuses to let him heal.

David Carr: "amateurs"

Luck also ran with wreckless abandon and sought out contact with defenders...but yeah this doesn't look great for Burrow.

Sounds like this Burrow guy needs a better offensive line, otherwise he might retire early

Man I loved Andrew. Just saying.

Guys, don't worry Orlando Brown Jr is going to fix this.

This is what makes a QB injury prone. Too much early exposure to bad injuries and body never heals. The mind is also so broken and the will is shattered. If Burrows makes it to 32 that would be amazing. Depends if his body can hold on.

Just curious, anyone got the average release times for Luck vs Burrow?

Bengals haven't learned a thing from the Colts.

While both their lines were/are bad, they occasionally hold the ball too long looking for plays.

Sacks are not just an OL stat

How many of those were Watt and Garrett 2x a year?

I’m thankful they didn’t take Penei Sewell, and I understand Chase is legendary, but man Sewell certainly would have taken a lot of sacks of Burrow’s face.
