He finished 9th this year in the ESPN QBR rankings.

I'm not AGAINST drafting a Joe Burrow, but I'm also smart enough to know that he can't come in here and single handidly take this franchise to the promised land and I don't have confidence MB is willing to spend the money to keep the talent he has, AND pay for the 'holes' to be filled.

Time will tell!

Drafting a player is never a surefire thing to fix an organization and all you can do is evaluate each player's potential value to the team.  No one should question that Andy Dalton's time is coming to an end here in Cincinnati and we have to look to the future.  We have the #1 overall pick so just evaluate all the talent and take your guy.  I have very little faith in this staff tho because of last year's draft and specifically Drew Sample.  It's probably the most over evaluated and worst draft pick In my lifetime.   When your front office is making those kinds of decisions it's hard to get any optimism looking forward.  Which is why no one but braindead zombies when to Bengals games this year.  Shame on you if you spent a dollar on this team.
