Burrow; Welcome to the Hot Seat - jj22 - 03-17-2025
Celebrating Burrow (and Chase and Tee) placing pressure on the FO in unprecedented ways to stay together means that any collapse of this plan fall solely on him. This is his vision of team building and thus any failure must fall squarely at his feet.
All is great as long as the plan works. If it doesn't. The "I told you so" card is in the hands of the FO. How will fans react?
Question?
Does that put pressure on Burrow?

I don't think it puts pressure on Burrow. But, I think the front office will have trouble building a SB contender.

I think somewhat so.....like you pointed out, he made it known this is what he wanted. Most fans won't acknowledge it, and will blame the FO and Zac.

No. They guy couldn't put more pressure on himself. It isn't like he isn't already hyper focused and obsessed.

Being on the hot seat means you are at risk of losing your job..
I’ll let you sort the rest out

Joe will be under pressure because they did not improve the interior o-line...

That's on him. He didn't call for that....

Dude loves the pressure. That is why he is always in Shotgun and never clamoring for a great OL lol
But I voted no, he isn't the one who is going to be fired if we don't win it all, that is Zac especially if we start out 0-3 again.
RE: Burrow; Welcome to the Hot Seat - ochocincos - 03-17-2025
Burrow won't be on the hot seat, just like every high-costing QB is never on the hot seat for why the team struggles to get back to the dance after they get a big contract.
It's the coaches/FO who have to figure out how to fill the rest of the roster with a good team despite the high contracts for a few.
If anything, this will (or should) put a microscope on the coaching staff and/or FO for hitting (or not hitting) on draft picks.

The only hot seat I see is under Zac if we miss the playoffs 3 years in a row that is a big issue.

Every new season, regardless of circumstances, puts every QB on the hot seat.
/thread, cause all the rest is manufactured bs.

What happened is unprecedented. Never has a group of players held out to strongarm Ownership. That comes with accountability. Brady nor Mahones could keep their SB teams together. Brady even took less money just to be played for a fool.
They've been discussing how this changes the landscape of the NFL and if other teams top players would follow suit. What we witnessed with this coup is significant.
Owners may be just as pissed with MB and co as they were with the Browns after they signed Watson to that fully guaranteed contract.

Why? This wasn't his plan.. Why is everyone going to take the fall because the front office was held hostage by 3 players?

This is being heavily discussed throughout national media and social media.
If you get this in time listen to Mo. He's about to go over all the fallout (including national criticism).

RE: Burrow; Welcome to the Hot Seat - jj22 - 03-17-2025
Some of this is everyone demanding they sign them and then now everyone turning on them for ignoring the defense which is typical of the media and lame.
Also it is the same arguments made by some around here who take heat for not necessarily wanting Tee extended.
Mo - "The fingers are all going to point to Joe Burrow".
RE: Burrow; Welcome to the Hot Seat - Frank Booth - 03-17-2025
they just made winning a super bowl that much harder. Hope Burrow likes breaking records on 9-8 teams.

I get the angle. I just don't believe it. It all seems too manufactured to me. There's already too much history with this QB and WRs and we see how it's played out with the different defenses and offensive lines.
It's not like the Bengals were actually held hostage by Joe, to the point they couldn't go any other way. That's just ridiculous.
It's 100% on the front office to put blockers up front and hit with some defensive draft picks.
