Same here and I agree with you totally...

...but the Bengals were sold a bill of goods last year with Joe Burrow which turned out to be false advertising.

We were assured Joe Burrow would “throw receivers open.” That didn’t happen.

We were told Joe Burrow would “elevate the play of those around him” simply by being present. That wasn’t true either.

We were promised Joe Burrow didn’t need an outstanding offensive line to succeed. Let’s talk to his orthopedic surgeon about that one.

We were led to believe Joe Burrow could pass his way to success and the Bengals didn’t need a run game. This was the biggest lie of all.

Do I believe Joe Burrow has unlimited potential? Yes. Will he realize this unlimited potential in Cincinnati? Probably not; definitely not with this coaching staff. Do I want Joe to be the best quarterback in Bengals’ history? Oh yes! Do I want Joe to lead the Bengals to the Super Bowl? Absolutely!

Joe Burrow has the potential to be counted among the all time greats in the game but potential doesn’t translate into wins. Performance does.
