I am a fan of the Bengals but think a new direction is needed. I guess throwing a game is wrong because of bettors. However, the Bengals better not blow it. As a long time fan, this is the first game I am rooting for the other team. lol
If I were the wealthy Owner of the Bengals and we beat the Dolphins, I would immediately announce that we will be starting and evaluating Jake Dolegala for the last game against the Browns.
I would not give one iota about any Public Relations hit that I would take from the Fans, the NFL, the Media or inside the Organization this late in a lost season.
I doubt that the REP of this Organization could be tarnished much more by doing this.
As of right now, I am for taking Joe Burrow but one or more trade downs in round one could also be explored as options.
My fictitious wealthy NFL Owner side would shamelessly trot Dolegala out there against the Browns if I thought it would help secure that number 1 overall pick.
In fact, he would probably be starting against the Dolphins if it were my call.
