STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Bengals accept sacks and hits because Burrow's talent justifies the risk.

Some voters believe Burrow prefers the wide-open, high-risk offensive approach the Bengals employ. An offensive coordinator noted that while the Bengals know Burrow will get hit and they will have issues and sacks, they believe the risk is worth the reward because he is an unbelievable passer with unbelievable skill talent around him, and that is how they score points and win games. The coordinator added that while they prefer he doesn't get hurt, the injuries he has had have been unusual.
