He sure is breaking a lot of records on the field that some of the best QB's of all time didn't sniff as rookies... I haven't seen a Bengals QB being admired as a rookie like this in all my 32 years of being a Bengal fan. (11-04-2020, 08:18 PM)HarleyDog Wrote: Even Ray Charles see's this. Wait....

The immovable object spent more than any team on FA this year, and made some tough choices (extending Mixon, not Green). They understand that while Burrow is on his rookie deal, they have a real shot. As much as I hated the approach early with little to now alterations on the offensive line other than Jonah coming back and XSF being added, right now, you can see that they believe the offensive line doesn't have to be all-pros, but just solid and Burrow can make it work. The losses of Reader, Hubbard, Daniels, Wren, Tupou (opt out), Waynes, and WJIII for the Cleveland game, have been devastating, but not as impactful as the cliff that Dunlap and Geno have seemingly fallen off of. Raise your hand if you thought those two would have zero impact thus far. But, the Bengals made a decision and got what they could for Dunlap. You can be sure there will likely be a very high draft pick used on a DE and they will probably spend again on FA, hopefully at DE as well. You can't have enough pass rushers.

The main thing I wanted to see this season is whether Burrow was the "Real Deal" and he sure as heck is. He comes in a rookie with no preseason and puts up good numbers like a seasoned pro. Burrow has the "IT" factor and if he stays healthy and the front office adds the pieces to make us a complete team we could be back in a Super Bowl before too long. YES! I said Super Bowl.

(It was a really nice win though) The chances are that the Bengals are going to go winless in their own division this year, that's after going 1-5 last season. Not worthy of a playoff spot, COVID or no COVID.

And so far Burrow has not been able to win more than 2 games in 8 starts. I think he has tons of potential, but he is not an elite QB yet. He is putting up big yardage numbers just because he is throwing the ball more than any QB in the league.

Throwing a ton does not automatically equal big yards. If it did every team would do it. You also need to have a QB like Burrow, Brady, Ryan, etc that is not going to put up Winston type INT numbers.
Burrow’s completion % (67.0) is remarkable considering he’s a rookie being asked to throw it that much.

And one of the guys ahead of him is another rookie who is having to throw the ball almost 40 times a game (Hebert 67.4%). Herbert is also throwing for more yards per game and has a much higher passer rating than Burrow.

Both Herbert and Burrow have been remarkable, but Burrow is the one hampered by a bad OL, a HC that’s won 4 games, and no speed at WR. Burrow’s 67.0% is higher than Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, Matt Ryan, and Jared Goff... You’ve sunk to new levels of ridiculousness with your not impressed face when it comes to this kid.

Playoffs are pretty much out unless they can get in at 8-7-1 or something. It would mean winning at least one of the division games.
