However if Burrow is who we think he is.... he will be able to win with less talented teammates.  That was always the huge issue with Dalton you needed the perfect team around him to sniff the playoffs and we still were 0-5

Having the QB within the same cap as the rest of the players is actually a benefit to small market teams like the Bengals.
If you have QB salaries separate, you essentially give a bigger advantage to the big market teams, who are able to throw more money at players to keep/bring in the best talent. Look at baseball to see what I mean.

The Bengals just need to get better at identifying and acquiring talent.
