Like three or four #1's.
So yeah when you get that kind of offer you do a little scouting right?
In Herbert I saw a raw rocket of a arm that was worth taking the offer for. I believe in my heart of hearts that Zac was also very interested in Herbert.
And the the other #1 picks.
We'll probably never know how interested he was but he and the team were under a great amount of pressure from fans to not pass on Joe Burrow. This is a fact.
Take your receipts, and I guess we'll see what happens.
But it is always going to be my opinion a "elite" QB should make stars out of good players. Elite QB'S shouldn't need everything to be just right. Again that is Andy Dalton territory - he was torched for that. Everything needed to be perfect. And when it was in 2015, he was on his way to possible league MVP before suffering the thumb injury.
We spent ten years blaming the QB for every little thing that went wrong, now we're here and blaming everyone but him...wonder how long that'll last if he theoretically doesn't bounce back? I have faith he'll bounce back, personally, but damn it's ugly this year. That other dude wasn't even watching film. Yikes!
