Over the past 21 years.. there have been 16 Qbs taken with 1st pick.. only two have won super bowls (Manning brothers), of the rest only two made it to the Super Bowl so far (Goff and Newton). Chase was already on the radar as a game changer coming in.. He is more of a single game changer than Burrow... I would not risk a #1 pick on Burrow (he seems like a 80s one hit wonder), I wish he was a Junior and then came back with back to back great seasons.. but he is not.. I would pass on him pick Chase.. look for a QB in 2nd round or wait one more year, let Dalton play out contract play a full season with an improved offense line and defense line and go from there in 2021
Things worked out pretty well when we drafted Carson Palmer, who had a mediocre junior year before breaking out his senior year
The reality is Burrow is putting up obscene numbers, using both basic numbers like YPA and advanced metrics like adjusted completion percentage. The Bengals would be fools not to take him number 1, no questions ask.
