Joe Burrow puts team on notice

[Timanky12]

I want someone to blow up at this franchise ownership and say what everyone already knows. Remember Jim Mora from the Saints, he came out and said we suck, suck, suck. Playoffs, I’ll be happy if we just win another game. Lol

Your right it was with the Colts, but still funny as hell.

I have seen enough over the last 4 or 5 years to see it is different around here with the FO with the Blackburns and the youth instead of 
just the old man that they will try and make Joe happy and try and put the best team on the field possible with what they have to work 
with. Sucks when we lost Bates and Reader to only replace them with a one year wonder that cannot tackle and Rankins who doesn't 
even play the same position as Reader.

It is unfair to criticize both Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson as rookies, even Reader was a nobody as a rookie. I have seen good things
from Kris, he could be a good 3-tech down the road if he can develop some more moves and gain some more strength. Mims is probably 
the best rookie OL I have seen us draft in the last 10 years or so. There are some good developmental blocks for the new coaches to work
with and both Rankins and Stone's money should be freed up along with many others. Not a complete rebuild, but change should happen 
for the better and they should ask Burrow's opinion on it.

"Stankins" and Stone are legit trash from what Ive watched , but would they cut them ? No Way

I am as well.  I'd take that over a pool table or ping pong table any day.  In my youth I spent way too much time and money playing air hockey in our mall's arcade.

I was hoping we would rebuild this line from the middle out. Really wanted Frazier so we could move Karras to LG to battle it out for that position.

Let's keep those away from this squad.

Front office will look at most our losses as one score. Good enough. For them.

If I'm Burrow, and in addition to trying to win a Super Bowl, I'd want to be QB with a career winning record. He's 33-30-1 in his career. If things continue to go badly this year he'll be a sub .500 QB. I don't put that reality on Joe. But hell yes, put your team on notice because no way do you want to be a QB with a career losing record.

Man, they really need to do that, and it shouldn't be that hard to do. Yet, here we are. Defense is obviously the biggest problem, but that IOL is the pits as well.

Yes, and if you have any doubts, go back and watch the second half of the Philly game. They shut down the passing game with their sure tackles eliminating YAC, and the Bengals had no answer as they were completely unable to impose their will at the LOS by running the ball.

I've always liked ZT, but lately, I feel my support for him dropping rapidly. There are too many issues with this team that aren't being addressed. I'm glad Burrow is speaking up before he feels like the team isn't in it to win. Some people hold onto shit until it's too late and they want out. However, I have little faith in Troy and Katie since I seen the Whitworth interview, so Joe may want out of here when his contract is up. 


Go Lions!

Heard someone just mentioning it as an aside during a radio show earlier, but does anyone think that they sit Joe Burrow at the end of the year? Not him pulling himself or anything, but the Bengals saying "season is lost, will have to address issues in the offseason. Let's not get our franchise QB hurt for moving up on e draft spot."

I've seen it mentioned elsewhere too. I'm not sure that would sit well with Joe. They've effed up this entire year, no need to add to it by pissing off the franchise. If he's open to it, then by all means do it. It's a Catch 22 for me. On one hand, I don't want to see anything stupid happen to him in a lost season, but if he's not onboard with it, I don't want him disgruntled too.

Truth

 Yet I'm just saying that if you or none of your friends were hit playing this game, then you were playing it very safe which did not fly in my neighborhood and would never earn you any cred. 

Chicks dig the scars was our motto. 

Now I willingly played the Jarts game many times but unwillingly played the same game once with compound bow with a a 4 prong arrowhead when my buddy shot it straight up in a crowd of 8 of us. That will get your blood pumping and I wanted to kill him afterwards when it fortunately landed about 10 yards from hitting anybody. 

The good old days !
