Burrow was the key. He’s the best QB to come out in a long time. Chase and Sewell, the jury is still out there IMO. Honestly, for this game alone, I’d rather have Penei Sewell.
The decision to take Chase over Sewell was about expected immediate impact. Often times offensive linemen take longer to emerge. They felt the immediate impact because of their chemistry would likely benefit sooner. The entire organization needed a quick start to a winning season. Support was poor and they needed to win some games out the box. Sewell had played in a different blocking scheme at Oregon. His video wasn’t helpful. But I know for fact they thought either choice would serve them well. Tannenbaum’s takes aren’t absurd. What’s to note is that he easily criticizes the Bengals often and said they should disband the franchise if they didn’t take Sewell over Chase. I’m sorry such an over the top commentary opens him up to scrutiny. I say let him have it on twitter.
