I say again that the Owner, Coaches and Players should be kicked out of the NFL if they lost games on purpose. Plus, Burrow might be another Ryan Leaf, Jack Thompson, Tim Couch, Akili Smith, RG3 and many other top pick college quarterbacks who flopped in the NFL. These guys are always listed as can't miss, sure fire picks to go to Hall Of Fame and many only stink up the NFL. Maybe more than QB, the team needs O Line and Defense very early in the draft. Cowler mentioned today that in NFL now you need 2 outside LB's that can cover, tackle and really edge rush from either side to have any kind of a good defense. Long time since we drafted a LB in 1 or 2. I would put the need for Defense, Blocking over QB. I'm tempted to add WR over QB also if Green leaves and Ross always injured.
The draft aside and who's in it, The NFL should kick Bengals out of the NFL if the owners, coaches, players throw games like the 1919 Black Sox.
1 Win, Go for 2. Win as many as you can. The great athlete Bill Russell said you finish strong so it carries over, instead of losing carrying over. So then let some winning carry over into 2020, not a bunch of losing.
I think this is only in some draft fans minds, and the coaches and players have no intention of taking a dive and losing on purpose. They've never considered it.
Ryan Leaf was drafted the spot behind Peyton Manning
Akili Smith was drafted the spot behind Donovan McNabb
RGIII was drafted the spot behind Andrew Luck
It sounds like the lesson to be learnt is more to do with ensuring someone doesn't get in first and snag the good QB.
