Is he one of the worst owners in the league? Yes. We all know that. He also gave Andy Dalton and Marvin Lewis some pretty damn good teams for a few years there and they couldn’t get us over the hump. That’s not entirely on him.

If a completely average QB like Dalton can take the Mike Brown owned Cincinnati Bengals to the playoffs 5 straight years, there’s no reason to think Burrow couldn’t do the same. And hopefully even more.

I have faith in Burrow and I think Dalton and Palmer are both a lot better than many Bengals fans will admit.  With that being said, I'm not bashing Mike Brown so much as admitting that I can see why the media is down on the Bengals....we've mostly stunk since he took over and he doesn't seem even remotely interested in changing his middling ways.

As long as people feel the need to act like the big meanie media is picking on poor widdle Mike Brown I feel the need to point out how unreasonable that is.  Fear not, I'll get sick of it eventually.


The main takeaway here is that I have faith in Burrow, but I can also see how the same owner/GM who botched our last "can't miss #1 pick QB" and who almost certainly made sure our steal 2nd round QB in Dalton and awesome WR in Green will never win a playoff game here gets routinely slammed by the media.  It's completely fair.
