Another chapter in the novel.

On another note, don't discount Joe Burrow.  He was a first year starter, with a new team last season, he did incredible given the situation.  Now, after a year to be settled, I think he lights it up this year.

My crystal ball was working just fine, back in last July.

I think the only way you could sell that approach to the fans is if the Bengals were active in FA for defense.

Talking about Crystal Balls...

I've been a Joe Burrow fan for quite some time.  Even living in NC, my friends back home all told me about this kid when he was a HS phenom. (My property in Oh is about 40 minutes from Athens)  So, I followed him at Ohio St., and was really disappointed when he didn't win the starting job.  Undeterred, I continued to follow him and his progress at LSU.

The guy is a fighter and a winner.  Not in a ****-sure kind of way, but in a technical, work-a-holic kind of way.  He's put in the work to refine his physical traits to maximize his genetic potential, as well as continue to develop his best tool, his mind.  Should he remain healthy as a pro, I have every confidence that he will lead the Bengals to true greatness.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Thanks!  A broken clock's success rate would be a serious upgrade, compared to my typical prediction success rate.

That's pretty cool to hear. I've been watching some videos on Michael Jordan. Everyone agrees that what separated Jordan from other players, even the greats, was his competitiveness. I think Joe's confidence is similarly tied to his competitiveness.

I think you were right about him lighting it up.

Was on the Burrow Train since September of last year. Way to go, me.

This is the type of stats that make me think Burrow can definitely lead us to the promised land.

I don't always nail the #1 pick, waaaay before anyone else.  But when I do, I make sure that all my friends get to remember that moment with me.

1.) Know one new who he was before the season began
2.) Arm Talent questions?
3.) Seems Athletic but not sure if it is transcendent or not.
4.) Hometown kid it will add a considerable amount of pressure on him than any other prospect.
5.) I think Jalen Hurts will be just as good or slightly worse than Burrow. Probably could get him in late first or early second in draft. Hurts + another Elite prospect or Burrow?

I wonder what this idiot was thinking when he wrote this post. Lol Dork!
1.) I still agree with this statement but in all honesty does it really matter?  Dude threw for 60 mother freaking TDs in the SEC.
2.) Again doesn't have the greatest Arm but he has a good Arm! I worry that he will try to make some Mahomes across the body throws that only Mahomes can make. Otherwise I don't think it's that big of a deal.
3.) He has Alex Smith Athleticism to go with Drew Brees accuracy + Arm. I'll take that. 
4.) I would worry about this in any prospect but less with him. His performances against Oklahoma + Clemson where unbelievable and quite frankly undeniable.
5.) I still think Jalen will be great but better than Burrow nah. He will be the 2nd best QB from this draft though. Love that kids fight and poise.
