But not our ownership, FO, and coaching staff. Which pretty much makes this whole idea moot.

I don’t understand all the Jets talk either. These would seem like parallel moves. Dude wants to play for a good organization.

Who the hell calls a guy a jerk in that context sarcastically? I even called you out for it in that thread and you didn’t explain yourself. It was pretty obvious you just wanted to take your usual stance of disagreeing with me (after I said how classy Watson was).

As to the rest of your post...

Voted no. I did so because I think Joe has the potential to be really special. And also because I just like the kid. Color me sentimental?

read what I was responding to. 

Guy said Watson is better because he has the awareness of a 5 year vet

I then brought up this stupid statement as a retort about how being a vet doesnt mean you have better awarenss than a rookie

No doubt!! Suggesting a QB can improve his pocket awareness in the NFL with game experience is a stupid statement. 

I personally hope JB improves his awareness as time goes on; as it was obvious he held on a little too long a few times this year; but that's just me being stupid. 


FWIW, I invite folks to go back and re-read the back and forth throughout this thread. Look which folks throw out terms such as stupid, LMAO, dumb, and various other insults...The worst I've said is I think some may be voting with their hearts. But many fans have to react with insults.

Well said.  No need to be crappy, we're all Bengal fans here, I think.  Hard to tell sometimes.

lmao I never called YOU stupid, I said it was a stupid statement. It's stupid because being a vet doesnt mean you have better pocket awareness than a guy with less years in the league. 

Justin Herbet has better awareness than Jameis winston.

Joe Burrow has better awareness than Mariota

Most likely why those dudes are back ups and DW led the NFL in passing yards and 2nd in passer rating.

You want to know what's stupid? Trotting out the likes of Mariotta and Winston in a thread discussing Watson.

Because I knew the cult following would come after me with pitch forks..hmm

You are dead on, though, on your ranking of Watson.  He is incredible.  Hard to believe how he was crapped on coming out of Clemson.  I see a lot of similarities with Justin Fields.  Fields might be the most amazing athlete I have seen play QB in ages.  He just glides when he runs, but OSU wisely tried to make him more of a pocket passer to develop him, instead of just a running QB.  There have been plays where Fields handed the ball off, and actually caught his RB running down the field to block for him.  I have no idea what his 40 time will be, but he is going to be a stud in the NFL.  I just hope he doesn't end up in pitt.   

Fields is trash.. I'd bet anything, he will bust.. Haskens 2.0...

Historically speaking, you have a 50/50 chance of hitting with any first round QB, but I see Fields as a different guy than Haskins.  Just out of curiosity, what do you see in him that makes you believe he is trash?  

Rumor has it that NYJ is now the preferred destination for DW. Seems Darnold and both their RD1 picks would be suitable compensation. Not sure if it would help or hurt us if TX picked #2 instead of NYJ.

Depending when the trade goes down.... TX could still flip the #2 pick.  Lord knows they need all the draft capital they can get.

If they wanted to give Darnold a chance of course.

Trajectory and ceiling are important. How many would have traded JB for Lamar Jackson last year? He was all world... and then came crashing down to Earth. 

YES, DW is a better QB than Lamar Jackson. But, I think he is at his ceiling. It's an excellent ceiling, yes, but I think JB's ceiling is much higher.

Would people trade Burrow for Josh Allen or Patrick Mahommes?  I feel like hype and hope has us flying so high we wouldn't trade Burrow for a guaranteed SB win because Burrow is going to win more than one here.

Welp, feels good to have something to be optimistic about, that's for sure.

Burrow's ceiling being much higher than proven MPV-caliber play would be nice, that's for sure.

I’m not sure I would say Lamar came crashing back down to Earth. He had ~3800 total yards and 33 TDs this season. People point to his low passing yardage but they don’t have him throw as much, because he is such a dynamic athlete (and they have good running backs). He had something like the 24th most attempts in the league. He is a very unique QB.
