What if Burrow were only to miss a couple games and we had to rely on our backup to defeat a mediocre team? That win/loss could be the difference between making and missing the playoffs. 

I'm offering a subjective opinion just as you are. It's not really possible to unequivocally condemn my take as false no more than I can say your opinion is absolutely wrong, but anyhow I'm not overly interested in debating such an idea.

NFL starting QBs are vital to Super Bowl winning teams and yes, there are historical examples of backup QBs shaping the outcome of a team's season, but I'll hold with my take that more often than not if you lose your elite QB for significant time then the team's season is o-v-e-r. It's Burrow or bust for the Bengals. Burrow is Plan A-Z and if the backup was Dalton, Fitzy, Mariota, or a drafted rookie instead of Allen, I'm not feeling much better about the team's chances to win the Super Bowl.

I'm cool with anyone being disappointed about bringing back Allen, but I'm not investing too much energy myself because we ride with Burrow.
