The thing I've been afraid of is that the Bengals will attempt to neuter his personality. It just seemed like we've always discouraged players from having any type of personality. I don't have any rock solid evidence for that. Just the vibe I get, considering how bland all of our players tend to be, and how hated Chad was by people like Marvin.
Chad liked to provide extra motivation for himself, such as when he created that list. His goal was to be great. Marvin and co stifled that, discouraged any type of personality and tried to squeeze round pegs into square holes. There was nothing wrong with creating a little extra motivation. Michael Jordan did it all the time and that's the GOAT.
Not all players are the same, and hopefully our organization gets that and allows Burrow to be himself.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
