If the 2020 draft had a “do over” and I HAD to pick a quarterback I would still pick Joe Burrow over Justin Herbert.

I'm on the side of JB being the better QB, but Herbert has an elite arm and is a great tackler.

Yep. And for me it’s not close. And I like Herbert a lot.

I would pick Burrow everything else being equal, Herbert has a cannon that Burrow won't have, but I'm pretty sure Joe can throw the ball way up in the air and let a 6'8 receiver try and catch it.

Doesn't really matter which one we pick....as we saw yet again today. All you need is a big game and the Bengals show their true stripes...

Herbert fits LA and Burrow fits Cincy....

That and the Mixon Fumble. Who woulda thought Burrow, Mixon, and Chase would be the reason they lost..

Was last week a big game? Was the Raiders game after the bye and a 2 game losing streak a big game?

I get folks are mad we lost, but quit trying to spin the same old jaded narratives. This team has won plenty big games this year. Hell today's loss doesn't even take us out of the playoffs.

Burrow was 100% the right pick. But you’re deluding yourself if you don’t think Justin Herbert has outplayed him so far.

It might if Denver wins tonight...

Stat don't lie. Herbert has been the better QB..

Other than the pick in the end zone (which was terrible) I thought Burrow played great under the circumstances. Busted up finger, a couple scrubs on his OL, drops galore, etc.

The rushing TD’s are very encouraging. His mobility seems like it’s really getting back to where it was pre-injury.

I wonder if Chase is one of those guys who focuses more when he gets some criticism or heat from coaches, teammates, and even the fans.

Actually, a common thread is the whole team seems to be handling success poorly. When we are favored to win we don't play our best football.

Then too, having two offensive linemen and our Kick Returner out really hurt us. Both Trey Hill and Prince got penalties in the first half and gave up pressures (possibly sacks). And returning those kicks was a bad idea -- one of them looked like it was going out of bounds. We could have had the ball at the 35 instead of the 12.

The turnovers are the only thing that worries me about Joe at this point, and I guess you could say it's serious at this point.. I'm not saying he can't fix it, but it's definitely a problem...

That can be expected from children, it's the coach who isn't manipulating the situation well, hell even he's a kid! lol

IDK, Cincy and KC would then have the same record with Cincy having a better AFC record. 

Burrow WRs played worse than Heberts WRs

Mixons fumble changed the momentum of the game

You might be right,  The afc is a jumbled mess.. Needed this win bad today.. stuck in the Pack with the rest now..

Joe Burrow has a better passer rating and a broken finger but the chargers won today. So that means Herbert is better. Don’t argue my logic
