Obviously it was much easier sledding having Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Logan Wilson on rookie deals and will get tougher as it goes. Yet still have confidence even if I don't always agree with 100% of their decisions. They certainly try harder these days then in the past and you won't hear me complain about that.
Trying harder than in the past but this makes me think of the 2015 Bengals Roster (which likely had some Mike Brown influence)
versus the developing 2024 Bengals Roster. (One with Andy Dalton as the QB & one with Joe Burrow)
Would having Joe Burrow lead to trying harder (so to speak) since Burrow may be able to carry a Roster further (Super Bowl)
-or- would having Andy Dalton (back then) compel someone to try harder to build a better Roster since it would be harder for him to carry it.
I am sure one would try hard with either QB but having one QB versus having the other would probably impact expectations & then some decisions.
