Bengals Twitter is all up in arms.

I find it fascinating national media has Burrow so far behind Herbert in general. I know Herbert had a great (healthy) year, but it's becoming not even close in the eyes of the pundits. You'd think Burrow was a bust.

Pretty hilarious.  He was amazing at times DESPITE the line and dearth of talent, not to mention an awful defense, and he is ranked behind rookies like Lawrence, WIlson, and Mac Jones.  Further insulting is ranking him behind all-time turnover machine Winston, Turd storms like Fitzpatrick, and Baker Mayfield's 62% completion %?  With that line and running game?  Please.

It is just more of the same as far as impressions of the Bengals.  Palmer changed the perception around here, and so did Dalton (which everyone seems to have forgotten).  Burrow will take it to new heights.  

These rags (although they are largely not print) don't really bother me other than their consistent laziness and parroting of popular, uneducated opinions.
