An injury ran the train off the track when a torn rotator cuff which they gave him cortisone shots for, and he played in pain until he could no longer play, the injury went undiagnosed and it destroyed his career. Back then, there wasn't a lot they could do anyway. After he passed away in 2012, Mike Brown called him "the single most talented player ever to play for the Bengals." Bill Walsh called him "a great, great talent and a terrible shame." He went on to say he would have actually changed the West Coast offense and that he would have set records that would have never been broken. Sadly, he passed away in 2012. Enough about the past let's hope Burrow is all we hope for, and we draft well. Probably never happen, but a few free agent moves probably wouldn't hurt anything either; but I won't hold my breath.[url=https://www.cincyjungle.com/2012/1/27/2752262/cincinnati-bengals-university-cincinnati-bearcats-greg-cook-died][/url]
Greg Cook was mentioned by me . . . but I never called him a mistake. I just listed every 1st round QB drafted by the Bengals so maybe you were thinking I was linking him in with a bunch of mistakes. In accident, yes, I was mostly listing a bunch of mistakes, but I was intentionally just trying to point out that 1st round QBs don't do well in the Brown family's Bengals
My words about Greg Cook
Quote:Do you consider Carson Palmer a success?That's what often happens to a QB on a team that isn't very good, especially one that doesn't have a good line to protect him.
Akili?
Klingler?
Jack Thompson?
Greg Cook was good but he didn't last long.
