I don't think he (Hurst) is a massive upgrade, but I think he will provide a nice security blanket for Burrow as the 4th best cover guy on any team won't likely be able to stick with him.  Especially given Joe Burrow's anticipation.  

I wanted to add a little douchey shot at CJ that he "didn't work hard in practice" and set it a flame on twitter just to fire back about how he said the Bengals won't be able to keep Burrow....but I held back.   I must be growing. 

I don't either. I believe Hurst has suffered from ending up behind two great TE's and his stats have suffered accordingly. But I'm not trying to paint him as the next Gronk.

But I do think he can be sneaky good with the Tremendous Trio and Mixon getting most of the attention.
