Why not keep Andy as a backup?

Maybe that would make some of these Burrow haters like him better ha ha...

I don't know if I have ever seen a more sure #1 overall pick.

Also Tua had a better O-line and didn't play as well and got hurt behind said better O-line.

The considerations of doing right by Andy and getting a draft pick are legitimate but secondary.

I'd say the chances of Burrow being as good as he looks are very good.   If not we'll be going for a QB next year - probably the Clemson guy.

Burrow appears to be as NFL ready if anyone could be.   He does not need Andy with a clip board.   We have QB coaches.  It's nice insurance and the ideal in terms of a transition piece, but not necessary.    And it would be uncomfortable or both and maddening to Andy.

If we protect him and make sure he's got a couple of deep weapons I think Burrow will flourish.

I feel the same.

With Jonah coming to play and Hopkins growing into his own at Center we have a couple of nice pieces. 

Add in the Jordan should grow in his second season after starting quite a few games and us having lots of dough to spend 
and the first pick in each round we can easily take care of the O-line to shore it up. Turner also made good improvements as
the year went on unlike I would of ever expected from PA.
