How exactly does your mind view Burrow coming to Cincinnati as some kind of detriment to him? He's far exceeded both Herbert and Tua in terms of success. He';s also been far healthier than Tua. Speaking of Tua, would you rather Burrow go to a team that trots him out on the field after his brains get turned into jello? On short rest on a Thursday night? Yeah, totally a better organization there in terms of keeping a qb heathy. Additionally, their line continues to be less than great.
Herbert, a player that some pine for even on this board (inexplicably) has done jack shit in LA. This is with a better line and a legit run game. He's had embarrassingly bad coaching and zero playoff success. His Chargers are the authors of one of the most humiliating playoff losses in recent memory. Surely a great place for Burrow to land.
Hurts is the outlier here. Terrific line, great defense. Still couldn't win the big one. Burrow bested KC on the first 3 tries with Cincinnati. All were very high stakes games. Hurts only got one shot at the current top of the qb mountain, and he swung and missed.
How about the mighty New England Patriots? How'd that go for Mac Jones?
How's Chicago treating Justin Fields? Has he won any playoff games or divisions?
Is anyone afraid of Trevor Lawrence and the Jags right now? Did he beat a hobbled Mahomes when he had the chance?
Suggesting Burrow has been disadvantaged by the Bengals organization is a demonstration of one's lack of ability to think critically. Everything that the team is criticized for has literally been changed since he was drafted. They sign major outside free agents every year. They went out and bought the best available OL on the market for him last offseason. The signed outside guys when their draft picks flopped. By and large, they've drafted well, too.
The guy has won 5 playoff games and went to a Super Bowl and AFC title game in his first 3 seasons with this team. If you construe that as a failure, then your sense of reality is warped.
Your mind was made up before he was drafted, and you are a prisoner to the hype of the moment. It's much cooler to act like you are hot shit for saying this would go poorly while things are at their worst. Go flaunt your ignorance on someone else's board.
