Matt Flynn, Tim Tebow, Greg McElroy, A.J. McCarron, Jameis Winston, J.T. Barrett, etc etc

Any coach that thinks he can win just by having a QB who will say "Losing is not an noption" is a total loser.  I wonder why losing was an option for Burrow in 2018 but not 2019?

The camera is going to be on Burrow during a loss and he's either going to be showing too much or too little emotion and people are going to get upset. That's just the way it is.

Pratt improved immensely from the beginning of the year too. MJ as well.

Wren was middling, but had less than 15% of the snaps or whatever.

Too early to call on everyone, save for Finley.

That’s just who Andy is. You can see it in his speeches. He’s the “let’s just go have fun” type of of player. Burrow wants to “steal the other team’s souls” lol

O...k. So the best college T prospect of the previous 3 years, will be replaced midseason?

Gotcha.

Posters will come after you and tell you you know nothing of what you are talking about. These things don't happen in the NFL. There's a pecking order. Rookie QB's must come in with their eyes on the ground and not look upon veterans until told it's OK. Rookie QB's must carry vets helmets and win Superbowls before being allowed to speak in public. Only after winning for years and maybe a SB or 2 will the QB be allowed to show public distain for lazy linemen or wrong route running WR's.

Beware, they are lighting their torches and gathering their pitchforks. Close the curtains...

But I am sure everything will be fine since Burrows decided (sometime after 2018) that losing was no longer an option.  That is the most important thing about being a good QB.

Coaches should coach and players should play.  When players start trying to coach all you have is a bunch of players constatly yelling at each other.

How well do any of you respond to a co-worker at your same level trying to boss you around?  

How much did Baker Mayfield help the Browns by criticizing teammates?
