Still The Same Old Bengals - Joe Burrow Is Out For At Least 3 Months With Toe Surgery Because The Franchise Refuses To Help Their Star Quarterback

Whether it's fair or not Joe Burrow is known as an injury-prone quarterback. Impossible not to when you see the list of injuries and missed time. Some of it bad luck, most of it the fact he plays for a franchise known for losing, being cheap and ruining stars. That's happening again here. Think about how Bengals fans were running their mouths the year they made the Super Bowl. They were talking about multiple trips, wins, all this stuff. They haven't sniffed a ring since because the NFL is based on whether or not you can protect your quarterback.

The Bengals can't. They spent their money on all the shiny pieces, most of which was needed, and now they are losing their quarterback because of it.

You get the point. Joe Burrow is running for his life basically every play and launching it to Ja'Marr Chase. It clearly works, but also why Burrow is constantly hurt. It's the Bengals, though. That's where you have to start the blame because some franchises are just filled with losing and things like this. You can go back to Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton, hell even Boomer Esiason. There's been plenty of good to great quarterbacks in Cincinnati and they just can't win. 

Good news is Jake Browning (and his fiance) has played, because Burrow is always hurt.

There does need to be a push to change the name of turf toe. Something with that sort of name shouldn't lead to surgery or missing months at a time. It also sounds weird when you hear it in like basketball, when they don't play on turf. Either way Joe Burrow has it and it's because he's constantly running for his life in the backfield.
