QBs over Burrow

I can understand Bengals fans love for Burrow. I think he has the tools and skills to become one of the best QB’s in the NFL. Top Ten at least.

But I have to say that while I may be a bit biased towards Lamar Jackson, I really can’t get what he has to do to quell the constant criticism of his play. 35-8 as a starter really tells you all you need to know. A 5-1 start in 2021 with 16 (now 17) on IR does as well. The man’s a winner.

But this Sunday will be a good, early test for both quarterbacks who will likely compete against each other for years to come. Roethlisberger’s time has come and gone. Mayfield is going to be an average to below-average quarterback who sometimes shines, but Burrow and Jackson are going to be the face of the AFCN for (barring injury), a long time. It’s going to be interesting.

My problem with Lamar is that he's living on bored time.   As soon a he loses a step, he'll start getting hit more, which will make him lose more steps, and eventually have only above average mobility as opposed to league best QB feet.

His accomplishments do speak for themselves, but he's 1 injury away from just being a guy who relies upon his drop back and then he's done.  Love watching him.  Always did.  Just don't want him as my QB.
