Yeah this is the key point. You hear players say 'hope it works out, I wanna stay here forever'.... but how many extend that to 'I hope my coach stays here with me forever too, he's the best in the league. I also want this team to stay together for as long as possible'? Nobody does.
I also do tend to buy in to what Burrow says. I know a lot of interview talk is just platitudes and acceptable speak, but I do believe Burrow in his interviews. I do think he speaks honestly.
I definitely could see Burrow playing his whole career here. I guess the teller will be how he deals with it if the team goes back to being crap for a prolonged period at any stage in his career. I don't think he'd accept being on a losing team in his prime, but I do think he'd want to try and dig us out of that too. I think he'll spend the vast majority of his career as a Bengal at the least.
