You do realize that the OP said Christian McCaffrey, right?  The guy that just had a historic NFL season, finishing with 1300 yds rushing AND 1000 yds receiving?  And a top-5 MVP vote getter?  2nd in voting for offensive player of the year?  2 time All Pro?  In his third season?  Just 23 years old?  Currently the most dynamic offensive player (non-QB) in the NFL?  Plus a QB who's 5 years removed from his own MVP award AND the 7th pick?  All for a QB who's had a single year of success in college but hasn't yet thrown an NFL pass?  C'mon, man!  There's no way in hell the Panthers offer McCaffrey for Burrow, much less McCaffrey and No. 7 (Cam is basically a worthless throw-in, I expect them to cut him anyway ...).  But if they did make this offer, we'd be crazy not to consider it.

His team finished 5-11, he can't "save the world" all by himself.  Football is a team sport, it takes 10 others on the field at the same time, working together, in order to win.

So, what if McCaffrey did come here, with our crappy OL, and no QB worth speaking of?  History shows that most RBs that have mega years like that, either experience a drop or an injury the following year, anyway.  And, if he does stay healthy and productive, are the Bengals going to award him that $20M/per deal that he's worth?  I think not..
