I have been developing a [maybe?] radical take on Joe Burrow since he was drafted but especially as this season has reached the playoffs. Let's consider some details within the narrative:
- Ohio kid
- Drafted #1 overall by an Ohio professional team
- Is the most important player on the team by a mile the moment he arrives
- Flashes some serious potential on a bad team as a rookie
- Takes a long-struggling franchise to the playoffs very early in his career
- MVP-caliber statistical production in only his second season
Does all of this sound familiar?
Joe Burrow can be to Cincinnati what LeBron James was to Cleveland. If the Bengals win Saturday, he is already the face of the entire city.
I swear to... If Burrow forms a Miami Dolphins super team and then takes his talents to the LA Rams to film a few movies, I am totally blaming you.
