Dont we all want to keep the core group together and improve this oline?

What i'm implying with my snarky comment about Palmer is....why is he assuming Burrow will be contemplating his future after the Super Bowl?  I'm not in JB's head anymore than Palmer is but he's acting like he knows what Burrow is thinking.  

We can all go off what we've seen or heard and I remember when Chase was drafted JB saying (paraphrasing) "When they took Ja'Marr it made me feel like I was part of the process even though I wasn't part of the process".  Comments like that would indicate Joe might have a more optimistic view than what Palmer is implying.  Palmer was always thinking "Will they?"  I don't think it's fair for Palmer to assume JB thinks the same way.  

If i'm Burrow, I would've already assumed the Bengals FO is doing what it takes to win because I've seen it first hand...with the draft and with Free Agency.  

All of Palmers talking points are valid.  All I'm saying is he sounds bitter by saying Joe is contemplating his future with the Bengals.  Just because Palmer had a terrible experience (and I agree he was put in a no-win situation) doesn't mean every QB is thinking like he was.
