The issue I see though is that the media is setting up this "Would Burrow be better off going somewhere else?" or the "Will the Bengals limit Burrow's success and impact in the NFL?" and I can't in good faith deny the legitimacy of those concerns.
That's what is frustrating about the Bengals...the optimistic take is basically "Maybe if we have the best QB to come out of college ever we can win something." That's rough, especially in a league where QBs like Rex Grossman and Mark Sanchez and Bort Bortles and more recently Ryan "discarded by a lousy franchise" Tannehill make deep playoff runs.
But I'm with you. I'm hoping Burrow is good enough to drag Mike Brown to relevancy...I look at this as Bengals QB vs Mike Brown as I did with late-era Boomer, Palmer, Dalton, and anyone who wasn't an insta-bust like Klingler and Smith. 2020 Burrow is like looking at Palmer and wondering if we had traded down and he went to the Bears could he have won the SB Rex Grossman couldn't with that amazing defense and ST unit. Stuff like that.
The Answer is the same every year...
YES the Best player in the Draft would be better off going to any team but last years last place team lol
but that's why the draft is set up the way it is... to help the worst teams from last year get (first chance to select) the best players.
