You can only be a Bengals fan on this board if your optimistic if read what most say on here.I'm not a true fan because I don't have a Bengals man cave with a bunch of worthless "Bengals gear" hanging on the walls and floor..
I'm a realist. I'm not an optimist, and I'm not a pessimist but I look at things realistically. Realistically, Burrow will be back game 1. Burrow will take the saps game 1, but i also believe Burrow will not take 1 snap in the pre-season.
My questions come into play with how long does it take Burrow on the mental side of the game? Does he come back game 1 and get hit and it doesn't phase him? who knows or does it take 8 games and it still affects him? I understand people wanting to believe that he'll be game 10 Burrow who was throwing it around the yard in Washington like Joe Montana, but personally I think people need to temper those expectations because I don't think that's what you're going to see until later in the season.
I shall forever hang my head in shame..
