Wouldn't that be so Bengals? In all seriousness though, Burrow is the pick. It needs repeated every year that a lot of smoke and BS comes out before the draft.

It's easy to fall in love with those 50 yards in the air frozen ropes hitting a receiver in stride for a TD. But the next series he needs a little touch on a dump pass into the flats and he sails in 5 yards over a wide open RB.

Burrow is leaps and bounds better.

Just down the road from Bear Bryant's hometown Fordyce.

I go through both on the way to Texas quite often.

Truck’s Canadian, give him a break on our city names. Can you name all the province’s up there, let alone the cities?

'I want to get drafted to a good organization that is going to maximize my talents. I've won everywhere that I've been and never had a losing season in sports from the moment I was five years old. I'm not a loser, I just want to go somewhere where I can win.'

Are we an organization that will maximize his talents?  Will Zac build the offense around Burrow rather than make Burrow conform?

A better question is will Burrow be able to adjust to the NFL or try to play college ball in the NFL

No, that’s definitely not a better question.

Sorry if this has already been posted - been out of the loop. Just something to fire you up.

Good stuff. Loved the part with Kirk Herbstreit...”he wants to steal your soul” “he’s a mean dude” haha

Also, didn’t know he got his masters. Pretty Impressive.

If Joe Burrow led the Bengals to a Super Bowl championship, he would become an instant NFL legend.

And when he was surrounded by a decent line and a solid OC, he made the playoffs every season.

I can't help but wonder as Dalton sees all these FA moves, and a draft that will likely add another weapon or two and more depth on the offensive line if he isn't sitting at home thinking "Gee, thanks guys...NOW you do this stuff?"

I'm good with the question I posed since I'm constantly hearing in the media that the modern NFL has changed and adopted college offensive philosophies.

Half the NFL is playing college ball, including the reigning champ, so what's your point?

you are correct, i should have said a great question instead  .. thanks

I'm certainly not a fan of Peter King, but it's not like the Patriots are going to head into 2020 with Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham competing to be "next in line after the GOAT". I'd wager the Patriots are seeing how the draft shakes out, or they're waiting for the Bengals to cut Andy. Too soon to be laughing about that one.

Yeah the inconsistent arm motion is a pretty big deal. His accuracy isn't going to be on par with Burrow's, and yeah he lacks touch as well.

Someone will fall in love with the physical attributes though. Hope it's not us.

I've never heard you talk that way before. It's great.

 

To be fair, the VAST majority of first round QBs have had success everywhere they've ever gone.

That isn't really a predictor of NFL success.

Love the confidence though.

In the first action of its kind ever, the Dolphins will take the first pick away from the Bengals even though the Bengals want to keep it.  Why?  Cuz the Dolphins want it so much that the Bengals won't be able to stop it.

I’m sure the Rooney’s and Goodell are working on this as we speak...
