Burrow is doing beyond fantastic

It's been my issue with all this since day 1.

Burrow won't get the support he needs to really succeed here and will probably one day walk away like Palmer.

For Mikey and family, all the instant hype around Burrow takes the heat off from the real issues. Remember preseason when there were 8-8 projections and maybe 9-7 and sneak into the playoffs???

Music to Mike Brown's ears. As long as the hype is high, he can dodge issues and save money. Joe Burrow was Mike Brown's golden ticket. I've never once said the kid wasn't talented, but I'd have rather moved down gotten more holes filled and had a bad season with no hype so that the focus would have stayed on how shitty this franchise is being run. Instead, there are people who honestly believe, with Burrow under center we are a DC or a RT away from competing, and that just isn't close to reality.

No one that pays any kind of attention to this team thinks that. It’s clear as day that we need to revamp the DL.

But it also depends on your definition of “competing.” A true Super Bowl contender? The division? Just making the playoffs?

Some of you are choosing to completely ignore that they just went out and spent 150 mil in FA. Which is obviously not business as usual for this franchise. Whether or not we’ll continue to see that kind of aggressiveness going forward we will have to wait and see.
