Seems Mikey was there to answer any questions Joe had about Cincy. The strangest off-season in Bengals memory keeps getting better. Hope he didn't sour Joe on us....lol.

Not on you, Wyche, but wasn't this announced like half an hour after the meeting took place?
Only player HE met with as well. ![[Image: Truck_1_0_1_.png]](https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/Truck_1_0_1_.png)

I think the only real concern Joe may have had would be spending on outside FA's, and they definitely answered that question this off-season.

I'd say you're right....I was catching up this morning, and didn't see a thread on it. What I gathered, you're correct about Burrow being the only player he met with. Kinda stood out to me.

If they continue to operate this way for a couple of years, this could be a dangerous team sooner, rather than later. "Better send those refunds..."

The writing on the wall for MB wanting Burrow has been there since the CFB championship game ended. It’s a marketing wet dream to have a franchise QB that’s a Heisman winner, college champion, local kid and will bring most of the LSU fan base with him.

Isn't the Heiman-winning QB thing more of a curse? I'd play that one down. 2019: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU 2018: Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma 2017: Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma 2016: Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville 2014: Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon 2013: Jameis Winston, QB, Florida State 2012: Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M 2011: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor 2010: Cam Newton, QB, Auburn 2008: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma 2007: Tim Tebow, QB, Florida 2006: Troy Smith, QB, Ohio State 2004: Matt Leinart, QB, USC 2003: Jason White, QB, Oklahoma 2002: Carson Palmer, QB, USC 2001: Eric Crouch, QB, Nebraska 2000: Chris Weinke, QB, Florida State 1996: Danny Wuerffel, QB, Florida 1993: Charlie Ward, QB, Florida State 1992: Gino Torretta, QB, Miami Geez, that's a worse list than I thought. Burrow has gotta break the curse.

Would love to see the combined win loss record in the NFL of those guys and their playoff win loss total. Too lazy to compile it myself. Quarantine has made me just super lazy....... HOLY SHIT!!!! That's it!!! That's the code, I just figured it out!!! Mike Brown is the opposite world. When everyone else stays in, he finally comes out and plays in FA!!! ![[Image: bengals08-1-800small.jpg]](https://i.ibb.co/MRz4cC9/bengals08-1-800small.jpg)

Murray was the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Baker was ranked #50 in the Top 100 and made the All Rookie team. Lamar Jackson was named league MVP this past year. Mariota got dumped by the Titans this off-season, but did win a playoff game. Winston is out in TB, but did go to a Pro Bowl. Manziel was a complete bust. People forget that RGIII had an amazing rookie year, winning ORotY honors, going to the Pro Bowl, and being named #15 in the Top 100 before injuries derailed him. Cam obviously went to the SB and won a ton of awards, including a league MVP and a 1st team All Pro.

I think he locked Joe in for life at league mini!

Carson was awesome before his injury, Tebow was decent, Cam was a beast at one point, RG3 was amazing before he got hurt, Lamar was amazing last season and Kyler Murray was not bad either

I suppose a better way to put it was Burrow is a Heisman winning QB...and he's going to be good like about 3 or 4 of them and not bad like the other 16 or so.

Carsone was the only one who did anything between Toretta and Bradford, but Whatever is right; from Cam and up, you're looking at guys who have had at least a handful of great years, while some have been near the the top. Outside of Manziel, though. Horrific. Our game against the Browns in 2014 was one of the most enjoyable games I've ever watched.

Murray is a rookie and looks good, Jackson clearly has it for now(?), but Mariotta and Winston didn't survive their rookie contracts as starters and Baker could get the hook for Keenum. Well I think Browns might have a real HC this year so who knows. Im just saying that mentioning Heisman winning QB brings about some grey clouds so I'd not throw that award around when talking about Burrow's greatness.

I guess by that logic Palmer broke the curse in 2005 and yet QBs since then have fallen to it. Let me be clear, I dint think there is an actual curse I just want to point out that if Burrow isn't the best and most successful Heisman winning QB of the past 30 years we are going to be disappointed. The median of that group is not so good. |
