The team sent him out there with brain dead schemes and play calling and a patchwork offensive line. Our HC is on track for the worst opening tenure of any HC in NFL history. They had a viable NFL starter at Guard drop into their laps (Spain) then proceeded to put him at RG instead of LG and benching one of the worst LGs in the NFL. The defense is incompetently schemed and coached as well.
Signing an extension with this "franchise" when they show no signs at all of really wanting to win - the first one would be them admitting they do not understand football and bringing in people who do to run the show - is career suicide.
How many #1 pick drafted quarterbacks didn't sign with the same team after their rookie contract? Heck, how many top 5 pick drafted QBs didn't resign with the team that drafted them?
Professional athletes have confidence in themselves and that they have the ability to take a franchise and put them over the top regardless of any adversity. That's why Burrow will resign with the Bengals.
The Bengals have been a terribly run organization for many years. You can say the same thing for a lot of organizations until they lucked into a good coach and QB. It seems like we have our QB. Now we need our coach.
