Also, Burrow wasn't as good of a QB back then as he is now. He's developed a ton the past two years.
Last, Ohio St's offense is different than what LSU ran this year. I actually prefer LSU's offensive style over Ohio St.
I should hope he's good enough now to beat out Ryan Finley and Jake Dolegala.

This questions applies to all 5 people who said they would refuse to play for the Bengals.
By the time the list gets to 7 or 8 you are going to look like a chickenshit, and the Bengals have been far from the worst team in the league over the last decade.
I'm not a football player much less a sought-after one, but I can compare this to my own life. I wouldn't refuse to play for anyone, but there have been times in my life where I've taken jobs or dated women I was aware had very low "long term success" rates and I went into each situation with an open mind but also a very enlightened view of what I was doing and in each case I left after my rookie contract was up, so to speak.
Signing a long-term deal with the Bengals/Redskins/Lions is like knocking up and/or marrying a rebound chick.
