Especially after watching these last few games, I can't think of anything else but to say something so outlandish that the football gods decide to give Burrow his mojo back to counter the stupidity.

At no point during Burrows career , except for maybe this season - have I ever thought Joe Burrow resembled Akili Smith. Again, more like "Good Andy" meaning he hovered above the "Dalton Line" with his play more so than below it. The "IT factor" came more with his personality the whole "Joe Cool/Brr" thing that players seemed to respond well to. Leadership.

Which doesn't seem to be there right now.


Anyway, I'm out. I have said all I needed to say.

So much so that when it didn't happen I stopped posting in JN because I didn't want to be that negative guy.

But why? Because I saw a QB that couldn't play for Ohio State and had one MAGICAL season at LSU with a loaded roster. Thoughts of Akili popped into my head.

But his completion percentage and playoffs and Super bowl!? Thanks Defense and high percentage throws. And a stacked receiving core. And luck. It seems that once in a blue moon the football gods smile down and award the Bengals a AFC championship trophy.

Don't hate the guy just don't think he is Jesus. More like "Good Andy" but at $275 mil. and my gut says that contract is going to haunt this team for a long time.

FWIW I have felt this way for years, again I didn't want to be the negative guy. I saw this thread at the top and decided to let it all go.
