re: A healthy Burrow and a healthy Tua. If you were a NFL GM, Who you taking?

To be fair, the Bengals have been just as good with Jake Browning.

There is more to it than this, and it starts with Chase Brown.

The Bengals run game was abysmal this year relying solely on an aging and slowing Joe Mixon.

Browning played one game with the same run game Burrow had this year, and Browning put up way below average numbers in that game. That was agaanst Steelers 3 weeks ago.

After that game, Chase Brown got his chance to jump start the run game, and had made the run game a real threat that defensed have to respect. And Browning has done very well to take advantage of that.

But is Browning as capable as Burrow? I say no, because Burrow can run the entire offense through himself even when defenses are all out to defend the pass, and still put up big numbers and wins. As we saw against the Steelers, Browning can't do that. He needs the balanced offense to succeed.
