I don't wish the Bengals had drafted Justin Herbert instead.

I don't wish the Bengals would have used #1OA on Tua Tagovailoa.

Did I mention I don't want Andy Dalton back?

Okay.  On with the post:

+++

Joe Burrow is putting up some excellent numbers for a rookie and given the horrific state of the Bengals' offensive line these individual statistics are all the more impressive.  On a better team Joe might be a rookie of the year candidate -- and that's the point:  These individual statistics Joe puts up, impressive as they are, are not translating into team wins.  The team surrounding Joe is not better than what we saw in 2019 -- and that's not on Joe.  That's on the Front Office.

Here's what bothers me:  Mike Brown is on record many times saying a "bell cow" quarterback is all a team needs and one's mere presence makes an offense run better.  Sadly, Mike Brown is wrong.  We've tried this before.  Joe Burrow is good and he's going to put up good numbers but what I fear is a continuation of the status quo of good skill players and below average and badly coached offensive linemen. 

The Bengals now have an excellent quarterback on a lousy team.  Joe is good but he can't block for himself nor can he block for the running backs. 

Even a dimwit can see where this team's shortcomings are. You have the QB and skill players in place. You have some young LBs that are athletic, a great safety and some good DB play (most times). Reader, Hubbard and Lawson on the dline. One young starter on the oline with another that has tons of talent (still way too early to see if it translates though) and a decent guy at center (most times). 

Back to the dimwit comment; it's blatantly obvious that the needs are Oline and then Dline #1 and 2. You have an entire FA and draft to address that along with adding to a couple other positions. 

Of course, if they Bengals don't do that next year, they don't even rise to the level of dimwit and i can't say that i'd really be all that surprised. 

Health and overall team strength are always an issue with this team but needs are pretty much a no-brainer.
