They're taking Burrow. Mike Brown knows what puts fans in the seats and money in his pocket. If he wants another year of 40,000 people in the stadium they'll trade the pick.

That’s a big part but the fans also want an nfl team that operates like an actual nfl team making moves, cutting players that didn’t do end ugh to keep there job last year, and going after good FA players. Not necessarily the highest profile guys, but good additions to a team and locker room. Also making good decisions and picks in the draft.
Zac has done most of those things as well as holding players accountable when he could. It feels like we gave an active organization trying to improve and win after like 30 years of honoring full contracts to players who wasn’t playing up to the money they were making.

Really? You're hoping he fails. Curious thing for a Bengals fan to say. Did your 30-50 buddies tell you to say that? What do you call this cult?

If you “laugh” at a Bengals player being a bust you’re a troll or a Steelers fan. Even the biggest Ross critics don’t get pleasure from his struggles.
You’re honestly one of the worst posters on this board. You care more about being right about some stupid draft predictions than you do the team doing well. It’s pathetic.

I would like to see your scouting report for Joe Burrow.
I want to see games vs and plays vs you are using to describe him as a bust.

I constantly see evaluators say they can’t even find bad drives from Burrow, let alone bad games.
If you like Tua or Love (lol) better as prospects, fine, great, but to suggest Burrow will be a bust is ridiculous. There is NOTHING on his tape to back that up.

Joe Burrow has had bad games... his 2018 game vs Alabama is an example but one doesnt make or break a prospect.
Tua Tagovailoa has had bad games too Georgia 2018 SEC Championship and Clemson 2017/18 National Championship. He actually had alot more mediocre games against top opponents in his career than Burrow.

I think most are talking about 2019 when they say that.

LOL. Heisman or not every player is a rolling of the dice. And your stretching bigtime by even mentioning those 2 qbs as comparables to Burrows. Tebow? Not even close. Manziel? Closer because he put up good numbers as well, but wasn't he an alcoholic? Or have a drug problem? Or at the very least I'd say he had a poor work ethic. None of those seem to be an issue from all we have heard about Burrrows.

MB may like Herbert, but the ONLY combine meeting he attended was Burrow's.
Miami could offer they're whole drafts for this year and next year and it still wouldn't be enough to come off a franchise changing QB. Tua isn't changing any franchises.
2020 NFL Draft #1OA: Joe Burrow.

 Maybe the Mods/Admins should consider a cease and desist order for JPoore. Dude maybe a Bengal fan, if he is he's obviously trolling and trying to start bickering matches...
Just my $.02.

Do you also root before take off for the pilot to crash the plane you and your family are on? 
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Why will Burrow be a bust?
There is no 100% iron clad certainty about any draft pick, but Burrow is safer than many of the picks the Bengals have made in the first round recently.
Ross, for example, had several red flags coming out of college and the Bengals selected him high anyways. I disagreed with that pick, but it wasn't my choice so I had to wish him well, which did no good at all.
What I believe gives Burrow a good chance of succeeding with the Bengals is the change of attitude in the front office. The team is no longer scouring the bargain bin for starting players to sign and they are finally willing to cut their losses on bad contracts.
For the first time ever the team is actually using free agency as designed. Sure they have used free agency a few times in the past to get a decent player on the down side of their careers but rarely have they competed for good players, especially at positions where there's an entrenched starter under contract, e.g. Waynes replacing Kirkpatrick and Kirkpatrick sent packing. We've never seen that since free agency began that I can recall.
This is the first time that I've felt the Bengals front office was making competent moves since Mike Brown inherited the team and named himself GM. And I have my doubts that he's in-charge any longer.
