JB - I demand you hire a GM, build a practice facility, engage in free agency and do all that other stuff people have been telling you to do for 30 years and you haven't listened.
MB - No.
JB - Um....well I can't quit....uh....I'm gonna....um....not sign an extension here in 5 years unless you franchise tag me in which case I'll be stuck here as long as you want.  Crap.  Um...you're mean!  When do you think you're going to die?


In summation, I don't see how anyone who wants Burrow to be a Bengal could also hope that he engages in a battle with Mike Brown when any time a player does that he ends up wanting out of here. I can't wait to see Burrow as a Bengal! I hope he does the exact same thing every other player who demanded a trade does!

I get what you’re saying, but the passive go along with mediocrity has gotten the team a whole lot of nothing. In a perfect world, Mike’s spawn would sack up and demand some changes. It ain’t like he’s going to fire his kids; they’re going to get the team when he dies. The whole resistance to changing a terrible system would be laughable if it wasn’t depressing. As for a backup plan, Joe’s would be to leave at the first opportunity, same as many of the team’s star players during Mike’s reign. We’ve seen this movie before, yet many people vilify the player when it’s the owner they should cast stones at.
