Ida know...we were convinced the 2-14 2019 team was in win-now mode and could NEVER do worse than stupid Marvin did with Driskel under center, so I think we could have mustered up some optimism for the 2020 team sans Burrow. Maybe we traded down for a bunch of picks and picked up Cam Newton for a song, or we got Chase Young and Jalen Hurts?
I mean, I'm glad we took Burrow but the idea that we could possibly be here saying that Burrow looks OK in Washington but not 1st overall pick no-brainer good isn't the craziest thing I've considered.
