This doesn’t include post season stats either.

Luck was sacked 11 times in his whole playoff career (8 games), Burrow has been sacked 29 times in the playoffs (7 games)

    It just points out that Andrew Luck ended up suffering a ruptured spleen and then retiring from football after a relatively brief career. Joe Burrow is starting to see injuries pile up now, and could suffer the same fate. We in Indy thought Luck was strong and physical and counted on him to be here for us as long as Manning was. We have not been the same since he left. Cincinnati is in the same boat, and Joe doesn’t even appear as physical or as strong as Luck was, although mentally every bit as tough. Cincy needs to protect this guy like he is their grandma back there because he IS their franchise! Draft or trade for a#1 offensive line!

    At what point does the Bengals’ O-Line problems become a coaching problem rather than personnel problem?

    Luck ran more than Burrow has, though, which subjected him to worse hits from faster players

    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.

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

    Unlike in British comedy, the people doing the sacking have not been sacked.

    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

    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.
