If we can add a QB like Burrow that teams will have to respect our offense should be a lot better next year. Taylor just needs to get better at calling plays. Especially in the red zone.
#28 has been one of the only bright spots during this miserable season. Just wanted to give him some props.
How many first round picks, QB or not, fail in the NFL? How many have success? The reality is that not many 1st round picks make it more than a few years in the NFL. For QB that % is lower than when looking at other roles. I'm not sold on having the first pick in the first round. With ML we had quality coaches to help him draft quality players that fit the schemes they had in play. I'm not sold that the coaches leading the Bengals today have that skill set and IMO it is why the team isn't better this year.
Just like FA; if you bring in a stud he could be a dud on the team if the player style of play doesn't match the scheme the team is using.
For the last two games it is time to look at the other QB to see how he will perform; maybe he is a stud and the team can go another route with the draft, but we won't know unless he gets onto the field to play a game or two.
