I said that Burrow will not lead us to success.  You have even said that Burrow hasn't played a down of NFL football, yet you think his selection makes us better?  That is what is silly.

If we do take Burrow, which we will.  Then I expect a post season appearance next year.  Why?  Simply because the only reason we have been bad the past few years according to some is because of our QB.  Our Line is fine, the defense is fine, the Run game is fine.  So the only missing piece is the QB. 

Not just any QB, but a QB that won the Heisman... a QB that is "special", has "intangibles" and is a "competitor".

I was hoping that Taylor would have the sense to see that the issues on this team started to erode when some players left and no replacement was made to those players.  Whitworth leaving should have impacted the OLine, and the Bengals did try to replace him with 2 guys that were "special"....  however letting Zeitler go and keeping Kirkpatrick was a silly move.  Especially before having Whitworth replaced.

Now the OLine is still not fixed and we will have a big ? at QB, hoping and praying that he is half as good as the hype claims him to be.  We keep losing quality players (except posters on this board don't see Dalton as quality) before fixing the holes made by the vacated spots before them.

So, instead of the optimism, let's look at this realistically.  Burrow isn't even half as good as the hype and is more like Sam Bradford than Peyton Manning.  Worse he is Akili Smith 2.0.  We still don't have the OLine fixed since, Williams is just one guy and we have 4 out of 5 holes to fill.  What does that do to our franchise?  Yep, it sets us back... as in repeating of the 90s back.

Damn. My ignore list now has 2 members. You and Toasty. Congrats. You're in elite company.
