Game are won on the OL or DL.  Its the core of success.  Until this team has stable OL/DLs its going to struggle.

I like Minshew, he's not the long term answer.  He's sure fun to watch!

Raw rookie Burrow is performing pretty well behind, arguably, the worst OL in the league.

Sometimes your eyes can fool you. For perspective after four games, here are some statistical rankings comparisons between Minshew, Murray, and Burrows courtesy ESPN.

• Completion % - Minshew 6th, Murray 13th, Burrow 21st
  
• Total yards - Minshew 7th, Burrow 10th, Murray 21st
  
• Per attempt yardage - Minshew 16th, Murray 27th, Burrow 29th
  
• TDs - Minshew tied 7th, Murray tied 11th, Burrow tied 16th
  
• QBR  - Murray 13th, Minshew 19th, Burrow 24th
  
• Rating - Minshew 13th, Burrow 22nd, Murray 23rd
  

I know, I know there will be people who will explain why the ratings don't mean anything and that Minshew's placement in the statistical rankings are meaningless but they do show that clearly there's *something* there.
