I’m certainly glad I was wrong on that one. I knew he was good, but I didn’t think he’d be this good. He’s definitely been one of the few bright spots on that side of the ball.
We all get some thoughts wrong, the beauty of being a fan and not being a GM... well unless you work for the Bengals where getting it right is not actually important....
I can own and have owned I was wrong on Burrow. I was worried he was maybe a one year wonder and that the Bengals would ruin him but he seems up to the challenge so far and if this team gets him a line, we'll be alright. From a talent spot, I really don't think we are too far off. The line needs help, but WR is okay, RB is good, DL if they resign Lawson and Daniels and with a healthy Reader should be good. Just need to tighten up the CB coverage and keep Joe upright.
