I really didn't want to argue after the draft, but this seems kinda silly. Like people are just making this stuff up as they go. So after a few years with Chase/Higgins/Boyd/Mixon, will it be safe to let a couple of those guys go? After Burrow reaches his ultimate form?

I just can't let go of the fact that for YEARS we were saying Dalton was trash because he needed all these weapons.

"We need an elite QB who will elevate his teammates". How many times did we hear that?

If Burrow ain't that dude, why did we even take him 1OA? That is a legit question. Even Dalton looked MVP caliber when the team was awesome.

I never called Andy Dalton trash so you'll have to take that up with them. The whole evevate the guys around him was dumb then, and it's dumb to expect Joe to do it. It was dumb to hear how he threw guys open at LSU too.

In a coupla years we will have to let some of those guys go. Why worry about that? Win now. Joe Burrow probably will be that dude... But numbers are numbers. A lot of QBs were better than him last year. He was a rookie. It's to be expected. He seems like an elite person, but he ain't there on the field... Yet.

Help is more than just weapons too. He need O line help. That's arriving in a few hours. I'm hopin' for Jenkins. He needs defensive help. He needs better coaching. He needs help to be the best player he can be.

Tom Brady needs help. He looked like poo the tail end of his last season in New England, and he had the best defense in the league that year.
