If he comes to Cincinnati we want him to break every existing quarterback record and lead the Bengals to a dynasty. His failure, should it happen, will not be on him. Joe Burrow is a great player who plays in a great system at LSU. I’ve seen LSU play and Joe is elite, no question about it.
However, he is in an offensive system and plays under one of the most brilliant men in college football. Don’t forget that. Like many great college players who become Bengals, Joe may end up being “coached down” rather than “coached up.” Good Lord I don’t want to see that happen!
I don't know... I don't really want him to fail. However with the disrespect shown to Dalton, I would be just fine with the smug posters to have to eat crow.
LSU has always been a decent team, their QBs haven't been that great, but for some reason Burrow is considered "elite" from 1 season on a decent team? I don't buy it.
I don't really hate Burrow, the hype isn't his fault really. Yes I do want to have the Bengals be successful, but we won't be, and neither will Burrow. I know who we are taking and I just think it is a big mistake. If I were in charge, I would take Thomas easily. As far as QB goes... unfortunately Dalton is gone, so we need to address that. I like Eason as a 2nd round pick.
