The main difference is that Cincinnati didn't have a lot of long developing routes in their playbook because they usually knew that their line sucked from pre-season on.

I'm not one the guys that craps on Andy Reid in the post-season but I was kind of shocked that they had two weeks to adjust their playbook with two missing tackles and didn't adjust to shorter routes or quick release.

In your zeal to attempt to prove me wrong, you conveniently leave out the key point in why I mentioned the o-line as being better than what Cincy has had . . . they averaged over 6 yards a carry in the Super Bowl.

How did Cincy do in any of the last few years in average yards per carry? Or are you solely focused on the passing game, thus your want of Chase or Pitts over Sewell? I'm the one that wanted to trade down twice in the first round last year to fix the o-line for Mixon and extend Dalton because I knew that a 1st overall QB was going to get pummeled behind this line. Burrow didn't win two games last year . . . he won one and Mixon won one. Running against Jacksonville is the complete opposite of running against a Super Bowl team. thus, why I want to still fix the o-line. Reiff isn't enough.

In '19, Dalton was tied for 20th out of 39 qualified QB's in Intended Air Yards.

BS.  As quoted above, when asked how you were able to make that evaluation, you went straight to pass protection with no mention  of the run game.  Now, you're trying to move the goalposts.  Even then, you're making a terrible argument.  The Bengals averaged 4.1 YPC in '20.  KC averaged 6.3 YPC in the SB, so 53.6% better.  Compare that to the Bengals being 114.9% better in pressures.  The Bengals are still better despite the fact that teams run more pass plays than run plays.

You wanted to pass on Burrow and reup Dalton?  Ok.  Thanks for confirming my suspicion.  Nobody is saying we shouldn't be trying to improve the OL, but there are a number of different ways to do that.  The draft isn't one round.  Not that any of this last paragraph has any bearing on you incorrectly "evaluating" that the KC SB OL is better than ours.
