We're going to need a guy a week from now to start if we are talking about Burrow missing time, so who do we get that gets 5 or 6 days of work in and gives us a better shot than the guys we have? ZT doesn't seem to have a system guy like so many offensive minded HCs have that they just pull out of cold storage on a whim wherever they go.
If Tannehill retired after last year, he'd be a candidate for this sort of thing. Matt Ryan has a job talking about football and Carson Wentz is a boneheaded bag of dingdongs from what I can tell. Nic Foles has to be out of magic by now, right?
Well I meant after the injury happened in camp they should've been looking to bring in a viable back up. I would've personally been trying to get Dalton in and seeing if a late Rd pick could've freed him up. But I suppose Wentz might have been a realistic answer but not sure if money situation would have worked out. As far as now? I'm not sure there is a guy you could pull in I suppose Wentz is still available but not sure that route would be worth it at this point.
I'm just frustrated because as fans we are all left in the dark. Outside speculation was Burrow would miss the 1st month of the season but everything from the team said he would be ready week 1. Now here we are 3 weeks in and he obviously wasn't ready and may be missing even more time. Didn't Hurst strain his calf last year? I didn't think he missed much time.
