If Burrow is able to play at some point and if the Bengals are in playoff contention at that time, then IMO you stick with the hot hand. You don't push Flacco aside to start a guy who, as talented as he is, will be pretty rusty and need a few games to get into a groove. Those few games could be the difference between qualifying for the playoffs/winning a playoff game and doing neither.
