But please wax poetic about how great they are at PBWR (useless and mis-named stat) when they're blocking for a guy that holds the ball longer than all but 5 QBs and just happens to be probably the 2nd or 3rd hardest QB to sack.
Fact of the matter is, your tackles are hot shit on a stick and it's only Mahomes magic that keeps them from being talked about that way.
The mess you find in cans behind your local Chinese restaurant is better than Smith and Taylor.

Do you even know how PBWR is calculated? And how is that a more useless measure of blocking ability than penalties or total pressures?
The only reason the Bengals' tackles haven't been discussed more is Burrow's getting the ball out quickly on his 3 yd darts. Imagine the total pressures/sacks if he were holding onto the ball as long as Mahomes. Or if they threw nearly as many passes per game.
But if your premise is that Mahomes is clearly superior to Burrow, I agree.
