One a super bowl winner, the other a game away from the Super Bowl. Yes I’m referencing the draft for this. Trade back.

I don't disagree with you, but a franchise QB can put you in the winning it all talk each year.

Yesterday we saw 4 mediocre QB performances. We saw one QB win by 16 points while throwing for 73 yards after winning last week by throwing for less than 100 yards. How did he win? He won due to an awesome running  game, no turnovers and hos defense making huge plays on 4th downs and getting multiple turnovers. Ryan T. has gone from goat to hero in the eyes of many by managing a very good team.

Jimmy G. also was not impressive (eye test) as he should have thrown multiple picks and looked like he lacks arm strength. But, he won because his defense was great only giving up 10 points (making Cousins look bad) and no second half points.

This is why many feel we need to fix the trenches on both sides while adding that franchise QB like Burrow. The addition of Burrow will not be enough.
