Quote:Are you saying the Bengals/Fans should just stick with lesser QB's and accept mediocrity ?No.
I'm saying that Mike Brown likes his shiny new toys but, like most spoiled, rich people, he doesn't take care of them and they either flame out, get injured or they want to quit. You know who was also a record setting College QB? David Klingler. Didn't Klingler get sacked 10 times in his debut?
Serious question. How many people on this board at this time last year even knew Burrows' name?
Top 10 from Jan 19 2019, Burrow not listed https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/Justin-Fields-Jalen-Hurts-Tua-Tagovailoa-Trevor-Lawrence-College-football-top-quarterbacks-2019-127981869/#127981869_10
Same website on April 14th Burrows makes it at #25 https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/Trevor-Lawrence-Tua-Tagovailoa-Jalen-Hurts-college-football-quarterbacks-2019-Alabama-Oklahoma-Georgia-131124138/
In February, Bleacher Report didn't have him ranked https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2817074-projecting-cfbs-top-10-quarterback-superstars-in-2019#slide10
Doesn't make the top 15 in June on USA Today https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2019/06/05/ranking-the-10-best-quarterbacks-in-college-football/1286328001/
Athlon had him at #28 in June https://athlonsports.com/college-football/college-football-starting-quarterback-rankings-2019
A month later they moved him to #14 https://athlonsports.com/college-football/college-footballs-top-25-breakout-quarterbacks-2019
Four months ago, PFF had him at #17 https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/cpuqw8/pff_rankings_college_starting_quarterback/
Quote:The only chance we have is to find a Tom Brady in the late rounds ?Not 6th round but Dalton and Boomer were 2nd round picks and Ken Anderson was a 3rd rounder. Joe Montana was a 3rd rounder . . . it's all a guessing game and coaching.
Quote:Lets say we find 3 stud, all pro Olinemen in the off season this year and go 8-8 with QB Snigglehopper. You think MB is gonna trade up from 17 to 1 to get Lawrence or whoever ?Nope. But I try not to attach records with QB ability.
Aaron Rodgers in 2018 - 6-9-1
25 TDs - 2 INT - 7.4 y/a - 62.3 cmp% - 4,442 yards
Aaron Rodgers in 2019 - 13-3
26 TDs - 4 INT - 7.0 y/a - 62.0 cmp% - 4,002 yards
Quote: What if we find this stud Oline and they all go down to career ending injuries, leave in free agency, decide to retire, etc.Same thing you do with every position, I guess. Draft more o-line, sign free agents.
Quote:I just don't understand how getting a possible great QB is viewed as bad ?If I knew nothing about the history of this franchise, I'd be right with you. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything that leads me to be excited about how they teach QBs. Most seem to plateau right when they get here, including Dalton.
