There are a lot of teams that are "the worst in the game." When the Jets looked like locks for the #1 pick, people were calling them the worst place in the NFL and saying Trevor should return to school or refuse to play for NYJ.
The same talking point hasn't hit the fever pitch for Jacksonville yet, but just 1 year ago they were considered so bad, all their best players forced their way out (Ramsey, Ngokue, Fowler).
You heard talk of the Bengals being the worst in the NFL, obviously.
Houston is now being called the most dysfunctional team in the NFL because of the owner's son Cal McNair and their weird GM/Religious/spiritual leader Jack Easterby.
Atlanta has gotten that same tag because they kept Dan Quinn for too long and Arthur Blank is considered a meddling owner.
Speaking of meddling owners, Washington has had to deal with Dan Snyder mismanaging the team for years now. Just recently, Jay Gruden came out and said they would talk about prospects in the draft, discuss scenarios if this player or that player was there etc ,and then when their pick came up, Dan Snyder would come in from his yacht and make the pick.
And Detroit has long had that tag as well, with notable players like Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders retiring early rather than continue to play with the Lions. And then, obviously, Stafford forcing his way out of the city after trying to win there for 11 years.
Hell, even Tampa Bay and Buffalo were considered bad franchises as early as this past year.
If players only agreed to play for well run franchises, no one could go in the top 5 of any given draft, since most teams in the top 5 are almost always bad teams. There may be an occasion where a good team just has an injury riddled year and ends up in the top 5 but that's not all that common.
Winning heals all wounds in the NFL. With Burrow, we'll win. So we'll soon be regarded as a recovered franchise, even if we know deep down that it isn't true. If we can make the playoffs 5 years in a row with Andy Dalton as QB, we'll definitely win some playoff games with Burrow as our QB.
