I don't disagree with the playoff scenario. Staying in the race is just as important and what they have as backups isn't going to make the offense better. If he's comfortable playing, i'm fine with it. If they had a capable backup, i'm sure i'd feel different.
Generally speaking, he didn't just magically turn into Ryan Leaf. When he's able to plant and push, he'll be Burrow again. Maybe it will be during practice, maybe it will be during a game but it will be better that he's in game shape and has those reps in his pocket.
