I understand that there are more than 1 way to have a team be successful I just really like the way the niners have built that roster up through FA and the draft and I don’t think the bengals are that far off going that route to be a contender in fact I think they are much closer doing that then taking Burrow. Maybe I’m wrong but a guy like chase young would come in and completely change the culture of this defense locker room franchise etc. we are in a nasty division and I feel like ***** cats. We need to toughen up and I feel chase young brings that to the whole 53 just by drafting him. As a die hard 20+ year bengal I just want a ring and however that happens I’m fine I just personally would go the route of chase young and keep dalton. Like Palmer dalton was pretty damn unstoppable and in the mvp race before he busted up his thumb. And dalton is still here if this damn franchise will invest in the RIGHT pieces around dalton like offensive lineman this team is right there. Couple that with bringing Aj back and arguably the best back in the league again I don’t think we are that far off
If you can find a team that will be willing to trade you a franchise QB for a 2nd round pick, than have at it. People tend to forget how sought after Jimmy G was a few years ago. Belichek didn't want to trade him and he traded him to the 49ers out of spite for the Browns (who had offered much more). That was the true key to their rebuild. Getting a young QB for next to nothing.
Keeping Dalton means more of the same - the same approach from the front office. What makes you think that they would invest in the proper pieces alongside Dalton? They haven't in the past and they won't in the future.
Once we have Burrow in place, then you can use the draft to build around him as it's much easier to add linemen, WRs, defensive players that it is to add a franchise QB.
I also think you are wrong about Chase Young. I don't think he would have a dramatic impact on the culture of the defensive locker room when you already have strong leadership in Dunlap and Atkins. He would make the defense better, but there's no way he could make the impact on the culture of the team more than a true franchise QB>
