He was born in 1996. We were one of the worst teams in the league until about 2011.

4. Another year of sucking badly by the Bengals.

Bengals would get the top pick in the 2020 draft and stubborn o'le MB will draft him again.

So we were pretty good through most of his teen years and until about the time he went to college. So maybe he doesnt have a really bad perception of us except the last 3 years.

We have to worry about getting the 1st pick for now. We may not even have a shot at him but I hope we do.

Must be nice to have 50/50 odds of sucking at your job, but being able to call your shot, and landing spot.

Umm...no we weren’t. We made the playoffs twice in the 00’s with Chad and Palmer, and were a pretty popular team because of the former.

Why would it be impossible for the Bengals to trade Burrow for a top player at a position of need?

They could, but I don't see Mike Brown allowing it. He likes draft picks and top players cost too much.

They could just sign a top player at his position in free agency, but they don't.
