Burrow's potential > greater than Dalton's known. I feel like you think if we draft Burrow we don't have any other draft picks. Look at Joe Thomas. One of the greatest OTs of this generation. 0 playoff appearances. Our last number 1 draft pick at least got us 2 appearances. The potential of the team goes up exponentially with Burrow over an offensive lineman.
I disagree and I have laid out my case.
Thus far though, I haven't seen anyone counter to my case with anything more than "I think Burrow is special and will be good, so he must be!"
Our 2nd round QB got us 5 playoff appearances. I really wish he didn't get injured in 2015 as that would have silenced even his harshest of critics.
I didn't say we do win against the Steelers, but that our chances of winning would have better than rolling with Finley. Even so, if you noticed I didn't automatically change our record just because I posed that Dalton doesn't get benched.
Sure you can go b the last 18 starts since that helps your case, but do you think Burrow in the same situation produces a better record than 2-16? I don't. I haven't seen anything posted or video that makes me think otherwise.
A better OLine would make any QB a better QB. I still curse 2012 for us to pass over DeCastro for Kirkpatrick and then trading with the Patriots and taking Zeitler after Pittsburgh took DeCastro. I think that was Piano Man, claiming that he doesn't need top end talent.
