The OL has been way way worse than Burrow and it's not even close. Burrow has struggled recently but over the course of the season he's shown to be capable in some games, the OL, nah.
In order the problem on the offense is probably:
1. OL
2. Playcalling
3. Burrow
The biggest problem with burrow is he's not good under pressure, and the worst part about that is our OL is absolutely terrible about keeping pressure off him.
A lot of people gave up on Etling after his first year here, and significantly improved his 2nd year. Burrow could every easily do the same if the OL could get their stuff together. The guy has talent and moxie, but no doubt he is BAD under pressure. When he has time, he can pick people apart and make accurate throws.

I also haven't seen him totally shite the bed as far as getting jumpy and getting happy feet. He's not perfect, but saying he's not good under pressure, particularly relative to what we've had for the last ten years is demonstrably false.

This is a tremendous issue when your OL has more holes than Swiss cheese.

He's been relatively mediocre for the vast majority of the season. He had one good game against the absolute worst defense in the conference. His whole game is quick, underneath routes and screens. Alabama took those away from him after the first drive of the football game. We did not respect Burrow's ability to pass all game long because he has no ability to stretch the field.
Burrow is no where close to being your #1 problem but he is most definitely NOT an asset to your offense.
