This past season has blame that can go around for a while.... but it seems that you and others agree that if Burrow were in stripes this season we win every game. Look what happened with Finley when they put him in?
OK, this is starting to get silly. If you have a roster that needs upgraded in several different areas - including QB - then taking a QB who is believed to have franchise type potential is an attempt to improve the team. If Burrow is the pick, then you've hopefully addressed one position and can check it off the list, and then move on to the others. The same would be true if they take Young, for example. He would potentially add a dominant DE that would upgrade the d-line, but then you still have to tackle all the others areas of need.
If they think Burrow is the right guy to lead this franchise going forward, then they need to take him and work their asses off to reshape this roster into one that can compete, and that would include being active in free agency and filling some of the needs with proven, quality talent. Will they do that? i'm not exactly holding my breath, but we'll see.
As for Andy, it's just time to move on. I've supported Andy since day 1 but both he and the team just needs a fresh start. Andy certainly gets too much of the blame at times and he sure as hell isn't the only issue with this team, but having said that...he isn't blameless either. After 9 years, similar to Marvin after 16, the end results just aren't there. I don't see any reason to keep kicking the can down the road.
