I'd argue everyone but Bengals fans have been right all along. We have just been wishfully thinking they were wrong or exaggerating.
Very good summary. And boy, have we been through the ups and downs --the wringer if you will -- with these back and forth viewpoints.
On the other hand, there was also the report of Dr. Tim Kremcheck, the chief orthopedic surgeon for the Cincinnati Reds, who seemed to have inside knowledge and reported it was a grade 1 strain and that Burrow would be fully recovered in 3 weeks from the time of the injury. I was kind of hanging on that one for a while, before the ups and downs of those negative reports and counterpoints that you summarized.
