So, what's wrong with Joe?

This post is absolutely fantastic and I thank you for sharing.  I agree with everything you wrote.  Dear Lord I want this to work, you know, drafting Joe Burrow #1OA and filling the roster with weapons around him.  You've nailed the Cincinnati Bengals' modus operandi better than I've seen any professional sportswriter do it. 

Joe Burrow is terrific but putting him in Zac Taylor's current offense scares the BLEEP out of me.  I hope Zac understands what he's getting and he lets Joe be Joe.  In other words, the offense needs to be built around Joe Burrow's skill set.  If Zac tries to fit Joe into the existing Cincinnati offense Joe will look like a bust.  I do not want that to happen.  Also, I sincerely believe Zac needs to either give the play calling to someone else or let Joe call his own plays.  In fact, I would let Joe do just that. 

The 2020 Bengals have their new quarterback and that's good.  However, let's not pretend the team doesn't have weaknesses elsewhere -- especially on defense.  I hope Lou Anarumo makes his case for some speedy linebackers and some run-stuffing defensive linemen as the Bengals contemplate the rest of the draft, free agency, and potential trades.

Me too and I think one of the bigger problems in ZT's offense is they never really knew what that was. Hopefully ZT's ego isn't so big that he can't admit that to himself and let JB help establish just what they are.

And I'm praying MB will finally wake up and do what it takes to capitalize on what we've been handed.
