Changing the Culture Matters

People were using results to change the narrative of what the roster was coming into the year, which was a lot of young and unproven players along with mid tier free agents (couple were high end but with question marks). I mention it from time to time,  but I know people involved in the league and can tell you nobody thought this roster was good outside of the offensive skill positions having the chance to be really good at some point. 

As I've said in the past if I had to make a living by predicting the futures of young men I'd have starved to death before I was even born..  You really never know who is going to shine brightest when the lights come on. I'm sure this world could produce many, many more NFL ready players if there was a need or if and when the NFL expands globally.. There are at least 5 other continents full of people where the surface has barely been touched much less scratched.. How many young men do you think would give their right nut for a chance to play and get paid to be an NFL player at any level? There are 5 untapped continents of them just waiting.. 
Back to the Bengals.. You never really know who is going to pan out and who isn't. Any ideas how many things had to go right to produce Joe Burrow playing at his level in the league for OUR team no less? So many things could have easily altered this path from poor grades in school to poor behavior to one flawed genetic blip anywhere along the line.. The number of things that can go so wrong in a person's life are just uncountable.. The same can be said about it going like Joe's life or anyone's life for that matter.
