We only have viable receiver in DeVante Parker, and he's bottom 5 in average separation. Gesicki is near the bottom as well. Even when our #2 Preston Williams was healthy, he ranked near the bottom too. Tua didn't walk into a situation like Burrow: Green, Boyd, and Higgins at WR with Mixon at RB. Nor did he walk into Herbert's situation: Allen and Williams at WR and Ekeler at RB.

The offense seems like it functions better with Fitzpatrick because he's a gunslinger who doesn't mind throwing the ball up for grabs, opposite of the rookie. It's also why there's a constant fear that he'll turn the ball over as his play is up and down, you don't have to worry about that with Tua.

Sorry man but this sounds like a whole lot of excuses.

You can say what you want about the Bengals WR's getting separation but Burrow literally had no time to throw behind that line, so they didn't even have time to get separation regardless of whether or not they were able.
