Hopefully Burrow doesn't feel like the Bengals are ever holding him back.
It seems like there's a substantial and obvious gap between "sitting the bench in college" and "getting paid top 3 money in the NFL to start".
Burrow was trying to spark his career. Palmer already had it going.
...and I'm not one of those who hated Palmer for his trade demand.
