But Burton sat down beside Joe and he got up and I'm no lip reader but it appears as if Joe says don't sit by me. Someone mentioned that in game day thread but I didn't catch Burton sitting there. But you could tell Joe wasn't happy. Burton may well have cooked his goose

Heard of the Queen fight but wondered if it was more so he was pushed into it or maybe it was more of a playful respect both ways fight

Or watch him go at it with TJ Twatt during that game. Twatt manhandled him, as one would expect a DE to do to a QB, but 9 had no backup in him.

I thought the rumors about Burton showing up in pajamas was some made up nonsense to get clicks.
Noooooope https://x.com/FOX19Joe/status/1853099036997247136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1853099036997247136%7Ctwgr%5Ed9c0924b3c4a3a1bb669ebc568b932551b5383f1%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fftw.usatoday.com%2F2024%2F11%2Fjermaine-burton-healthy-scratch-missed-practice-pajamas-bengals-raiders-video

"When you get to this point in your career you gotta grow up. You're a grown man. Nobody is going to baby you anymore," Mike Hilton said. "We know how talented he is and how much he can help, but he has to grow up and just mature and realize he's gotta put the team over himself."
Pretty much sums it up.

Having a veteran call you out publicly will be a real test. How Burton responds will speak volumes on his career

Love his talent but man its so obvious why this kid fell to the 3rd with first round talent. He better wake up and realize he's in the process of blowing his 1 shot at being an NFL player. Does he not see how much WRs get paid these days? If the prospect of signing a 100m+ contract in 3-4 years doesn't get you to act right im not sure what will.

Suspend him some games for conduct detrimental to the team with no pay and see if he grows up at that point (I don't know if you can do that}. TJ as a mentor meant nothing to him. It also sends a message thru the locker room that Bengals are not soft. Burrow vouched for him and then he paraded around the sideline all happy-go-lucky after being declared inactive. Immaturity to the max. I was one of the posters who didn't understand why they kept him underutilized. Boy, was I wrong.

I am not a doctor, but If you watch him closely and listen to him speak it would appear that he might have other things going on....maybe ADHD..I think the team is aware of this and most likely is working with docs to get some sort of stabilization to this problem..if possible that will allow him to play in the NFL..I don't think Burton is purposefully being a punk or immature by any means..I also think that this is why the majority of Bengals players have not trashed the guy and are showing compassion in thought and response.....And ..like many others like him I hope they find that happy medium for him , one that allows him to have a good life and maybe even play football at a high level...He seems to be a bright young man and again, I dont sense that he is purposefully trying to trash his career..Things going on we don't don't about

You were not wrong..but I dont think that suspending him without pay etc is the answer..I firmly believe that Jermaine hassome real health issues.. this team is trying their best to work with him .I dont think that his behavior is purposeful or punkish in any way..Good luck to Jermaine and the Bengals |
