We still haven't replaced the OLine. Why make another hole on the team without fixing the biggest problem on the team?
If we bailed on a good to decent QB for his struggles, how long before we bail on Burrow?
Remember we bailed on Palmer, who was supposed to be a great QB.
Taking Burrow doesn't make any real sense... except for to get kudos by the media and hope to excite the fanbase.
The only reason we have to take him is because of the way we treated Dalton. I doubt ZT will man up and admit that he erred in benching Dalton and to commit to him for at least another year. Instead ZT is using Dalton as his scapegoat and doing what other HCs do and taking the coward approach and saying that Dalton wasn't "his guy".
Well if he takes Burrow, then Burrow had better be his guy. I will NOT be forgiving if we fail to make the postseason next year. Since I truly do believe that with Dalton and a good OLine and tagging Green (if not extending him) will lead to more success.
Palmer bailed on us plain and simple.
Benching Dalton happened AFTER we were eliminated from playoff contention. He had every right, as a first year coach to see what he had in Finley. Not too mention, Dalton was frazzled and flustered and that whole thing needed an intervention for Daltons sake as much as everyone elses. Once you are eliminated from playoff contention, is basically means as a team you didnt achieve the goal you set out for and its completely out of reach now. Hence the season was already a failure. Benching Dalton did nothing to futher damage an already failed season. Its clear that ZT isnt interested in building around a 30 year old QB. From a winning, investment and business standpoint, its a good thing he thinks that way.
