I hate to be a Debbie Downer but can you think of a single instance where a Mike Brown owned Bengals teams ever “learned their lesson?”
His m.o. is finding serviceable players who have been written off or deemed not worth further investment and rejuvenating their careers here in a never ending underdog story. Everytime the hype train gets going they get derailed just as fast as it started. Rinse and repeat.
Burrow is/was a generational talent. He has all the tools to succeed at this level, but winning a Championship takes a lot more pieces than 1 talented QB and Mike Brown and company are just absolutely clueless when it comes to the other pieces. It sure was a fun last couple of years.
