He blamed Dalton for almost everything, got upset when I tried to tell him that Dalton wasn't the problem and now he suddenly allows himself to see that there are faults on the team other than the QB now that he has a man crush behind Center. Burrow is a better QB. No doubt about that at all and he got Cincy 2 whole wins before the below par team got him injured for the rest of the season, which I predicted would happen. #1 overall QBs don't do well on teams that earned the #1 pick. Peyton Manning is the exception and Troy Aikman went to a run heavy team.
I pointed out to someone else on the board how sensitive he gets when people don't praise Mighty Joe. He hadn't noticed it before . . . he does now. Keep watching. He can't control himself when there is even the slightest criticism of Burrow. He'll be along shortly after to "correct" them or mock them. It's sad, actually. "Everyone is entitled to MY own opinion"
So much anger.
As to the number #1 pick statement. Cam Newton won MVP, and went to a super bowl, Andrew Luck was a stud and consistently had his team in the playoffs before retiring, Baker Mayfield took the lowly Browns to the playoffs, and Carson Palmer brought us out of the dark ages. Soooo not sure what your smoking about #1 picks having success, unless your only definition of success is winning the super bowl.
