What we need is to do things differently then we have in years.
If the Bengals do draft Burrow, they have to give the guy a supporting cast. I have been saying for months to trade the first pick and it has never been anything against Burrow but everything about a lack of trust in the organization to do the right thing. So, if Burrow is the pick then the team has be active in Free Agency like never before. I will feel a lot better about the draft if going into it they have signed two new starters. Be it LB, WR, O-line. Just showing that they are going to address the needs of the team.

TE was not a focus of the offense this year, that could change but i would resign Tyler before spending $$ on any above

So no plan.. what do you call getting a new head coach first year plus drafting an anchor at Tackle,, a LB and Guard in first 4 rounds last year and a very likely a franchise QB second year.. I would like to see us go a bit more in FA but i see too many teams get little return from $$$ in FA then have to let go players because of Cap issues with in a year or two... If Burrow is what he has beel labeled as a franchise QB that will raise other's game etc.. that is what I and hope we expect from him. This was the weakness of Andy.. he is a solid QB but not a Franchise QB.. a Franchise QB can do more with less and raise the games of others.. lets hope Burrow is that

I think a plan looks much better if you can get a franchise QB and shore up the LOS on both sides of the ball. Call me crazy, but I think Fred Johnson has a good chance to be a solid NFL OT which helps our OL especially if Jonah produces. I hope we add an all pro guard in FA to the mix as well using the 17.7 million we save by trading AD. I think they do have a plan.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Andy Dalton might not be the best sideline mentor for Joe Burrow but he could certainly do a lot worse. Joe Burrow will start for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2020 but we’ll see if he can lead the team to five straight playoff appearances like Andy Dalton did. Let’s be fair. Dalton had a more complete team around him in 2011 with many of the same 2009 playoff team members still on the roster. Still, five consecutive playoff appearances put Andy Dalton among a select group of quarterbacks who have accomplished this. I do not expect the 2020 Cincinnati Bengals to have a winning season. There are just too many holes in the roster and the coaching staff, as a group, is woefully inexperienced. Even with Joe Burrow behind center I sincerely believe this team’s ceiling is maybe 8-8.

Steelers OT Matt Feiler could be a major steal for the Bengals and should be a guy they act on. Feiler is a RFA meaning the Bengals should offer him a deal and even if the Steelers match it it takes money out of their dwindling salary cap space. If they can actually pull Feiler away from the Steelers they get a very good RT. Either way they hurt the Steelers which is a plus in my book.

I agree with much of what you said except our LB is worse than our Oline.. and a bit easier to fill the need at LB in FA... Burrow is more mobile than Andy so that will help with our line.. though they played much better 2nd half over 1st half of season.. with Williams in lineup even with most of the main core they will be better especially watching Jordan improve through 2nd half.. The Bengals are not going to drop a ton a $$ into FA but they can shore up LB and WR in FA.. and in rounds 2/3/4 look for best available LB, Guard (possible swing Guard/Tackle, CB.

If the new OC decides to make Giovanni and Mixon be regular pass catching threats Burrow gets the short game he'll need to survive during the season. To me building a great Oline is the overriding priority this season. Agree that the O-line should be the top priority. Skill players are fun to watch but games are won up front. I hope for the Bengals sake that Drew Sample can start and be a legit receiving threat as well as a blocker. If you draft a TE in the second round he should be good enough to start. If not it’s a terrible pick.

End of Career here was a tailspin.. this team just seemed to never recover from Pitt lose in playoffs but Andy had a solid career... Also people tend to forget how good Baltimore and Pittsburgh were this past decade.. Link below, they are ranked 4/5 for the Bengals to put 5 playoffs in that decade says something for Dalton. Overall in that 2011 to 2016 run.. the Bengals were top 10 to 15 in average regular season wins. Andy was not a bust and in the end had better achievements than Palmer as a Bengal http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001093786/article/nfl-team-of-the-decade-ranking-top-10-organizations-of-2010s

Resign Eifert or pickup Hunter or Hooper. That’s if their teams don’t resign them. Eifert with the exception of Kelce imo is better than any TE in the league when healthy and used properly. He was willing to sign a one year deal, proved he could stay healthy albeit in a very limited role. But I think he will sign again. Even if he signs why not still go after a Hunter/Hooper.

Agreed 100% on Eifert. His hands are still golden, save for that 1 play against the Jets...

Andy Dalton is a meek, noodle Arm, panicked, timid and below average qb Using 18 mill of space to have opie mentor a #1 overall pick would be beyond idiotic. Burrow would gain nothing from having to be mentored by that loser If we wanted burrow to learn how to wilt under pressure, uninspire a team, throw a tremendous amount of picks, not extend plays and have zero pocket presence, and how to lock into one read. Then yeah. Andy would be great to learn from

Would like any of those guys, I know Vernon is getting up there in age but he could still contribute in the passing game. Henry would be ideal as he is young and very talented. McDonald has always been solid. Ebron is talented as well, lots of good TE's available, great year to get one.

Yes, think Cooper would be the ideal grab if we want a Receiver in FA. AJ just hasn't been healthy and that has to be taken into consideration in his contract wherever he goes. We have the money to get Cooper and Conklin and it would be money well spent. I like Littleton tons in coverage. But I am with Synric on Jamie Collins now, he can do it all and is a good pass rusher to boot.

But calling the guy a loser is a little over the top, let alone everything else you said about him. Dalton has been the epitome of class for this team and won tons of games and got us to the Playoffs numerous times. He just couldn't win the big games which is why we need to move on to Joe Burrow. No need to hate on Dalton anymore, trade the guy and move on. I will wish him the best, he is a good man. |
