Between your avatar and this post, I have coffee spit all over my computer...   Reading these the morning after is comedic gold.  I can't stop laughing  but yours was the best

Joseph Thuney, RG, FA from the Pats...one of the best Guards in the NFL and from Centerville!  Was on my daughter's first soccer team (coed).  He wasn't bigger than the other kids at 5, but wow...

Sign him and Littleton before the draft, then get Joe, a RT, some help at safety (Shawn Williams sucks azz), and this team will be competitive overnight.  49ers showed it can be done, and the necessity of those two FA is the penalty for some horrible draft mistakes (Ced, Fish, Price).  You might have to overpay them a bit, but without Dalton's contract on the books (and hopefully, Dre Kirkpatrick's) they can absolutely afford them and AJ Green's new deal.

I'm just worried that he'll find a way to screw this up.

Steelers already worried.

Draft 1 OL, Draft 1 LB, acquire 2 LB and 2 OL. Draft WRs & TEs and we have a winning team. OF Course BuRROW first.

I thought you said in all seriousness? Lebron is a total D-bag and Burrow is humble as hell. Just stop

Great stuff! I have to quote this part of the article because it’s so damn true:


The difference maker is his swagger. It's something the Cincinnati Bengals have been missing for years. They had it with Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson. A.J. Green and Joe Mixon carry some of it, but need a quarterback to complete it. Joe Burrow brings "I can beat anyone" mentality - exactly what Cincy needs to put it all together.

Yep. 100%

Please, please, PLEASE beef up the O-line if we draft this kid. Add an extra TE or whatever, just protect your goddamn investment.

We literally just drafted the best blocking TE in college last year lol

If Jonah lives up to the hype, and Fred Johnson continues to impress, that’s a damn good start.

Clemson's defense is the real deal. Has been for a few years.

Well...he did get dinged by that caveman towards the end of the half. It could have been catastrophic if i hadn't intervened.

Yep. They’re nasty. Most QB’s would have wilted under all that pressure last night.

They do, but Clemson is loaded on defense, and deep on the front line. Very deep. Venable is a great DC too, there is a reason they paid him huge money to stay in Death Valley. 

Burrow is legit, absolutely no question, but LSU is a good football team all around as well.

A lot of them have....lol. What I watched all season of Burrow was confirmed last night. Good show. Now we just need this bumbling franchise to help him out just a little, and we might be on to bigger and better things.

Their OL is absolutely NOT “great.” Look up the numbers if you don’t believe me. They were middle of the pack all season, and Burrow was pressured A LOT.

So many of his big plays come from him buying time for his WR’s and extending plays himself.

To recap:

Clemson's defense had average 10 points allowed all season.

Joe Burrow, with cracked ribs, scored 6 TDs on them.

And Chase dropped an absolute perfect pass or it would have been 7!
