Because just 2 years ago they were all sayin' Joe Burrow should pull an Eli. They don't like to be wrong.

Yep. There’s also idiots like Mike Tannenbaum that said the Bengals should be kicked out of the league if they didn’t draft Sewell.

Age my ass. I just turned 74 and I'm better than ever.

Joe Burrow is the best QB in the AFC, he is the next superstar and whoever says different hasn't watched enough football or wants a quarterback that has to run around in the pocket and wait until the play breaks down to throw a pass. Burrow is what a QB supposed to be and will forever be a Legend at LSU and soon will become a Bengals legend.

“Anonymous”.

Not only is it a bad take, but it’s a chicken shit one as well.

He's totally among the top of my most hated ESPN personalities. The dude acts like he won a zillion Super Bowls as the GM, tells the same tired acquiring Farve tales, and is all bravado.

Anonymous AFC personnel director quoted by journalist that lives in Kansas City……..

People are entitled to their stupid opinions.

When anonymous, means there is no name, so a writer can put whatever they want with little call for proof. Clickbait, most likely. If not, some tool from an AFC North team that is bitter.

I don't think it pains anyone that the Bengals are playing well. I read that quote and see a guy who says, he is playing well and is just a step below the greatest QBs in the league, which doesn't sound like an insult for a 2nd year pro.

It seems more like a quote of "Hey, they are really good and happy for them, but let's hold up on the guy is the next goat." Which, will piss off some posters around here but isn't an unfair statement. He's playing lights out the last two games, and having an MVP type season. Need to win in the playoffs and silence all possible doubt while playing at a high level for several seasons.

People, GM's, Coaches, Fans, Players can say what every they want but my eyes tell me if Joe is getting two seconds he is a shredder bro.

Reading that article if the last 2 games are his ceiling sign me up.

Right.  Imagine thinking "400 yds/4 TDs per game" as a ceiling would be a bad thing.

This has the Crybaby Ravens written all over it.

Right. Which begs the question: why are you okay with them stating their opinion but getting upset that we're stating ours?

That part I agree with....it was the rest of the comments I didn't find "necessary".
