...but the Bengals were sold a bill of goods last year with Joe Burrow which turned out to be false advertising.
We were assured Joe Burrow would “throw receivers open.” That didn’t happen.
We were told Joe Burrow would “elevate the play of those around him” simply by being present. That wasn’t true either.
We were promised Joe Burrow didn’t need an outstanding offensive line to succeed. Let’s talk to his orthopedic surgeon about that one.
We were led to believe Joe Burrow could pass his way to success and the Bengals didn’t need a run game. This was the biggest lie of all.
Do I believe Joe Burrow has unlimited potential? Yes. Will he realize this unlimited potential in Cincinnati? Probably not; definitely not with this coaching staff. Do I want Joe to be the best quarterback in Bengals’ history? Oh yes! Do I want Joe to lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl? Absolutely!
Joe Burrow has the potential to be counted among the all time greats in the game but potential doesn’t translate into wins. Performance does.
He may not of thrown people open who couldn't get separation, but he completed a lot of balls in tight coverage.
He absolutely elevated the play of those around him. We saw the team without him
A good or adequate online would have made a huge difference last year, not sure an outstanding one is needed and it seems like the unit is headed in the right direction. They just handled the best dline in the game and even the 2nd unit against the wft ones didn't give up a sack.
A lot of experts really liked what they saw from Joe last year and are all buying his stock but it wasn't convincing enough for you? Oh ok
