Sport Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Maroon&Gold said: What are the chances that Burrow's career follows a similar path as Carson Palmer's? Solid QB able to put up MVP stats some seasons but organizational ineptitude holds him back until he can find at least a mediocre franchise and then light it up. I like his chances better than Palmer's because.... Quote I don't think a team without a GM can compete in the NFL today Good thing they have a "GM" then. Their "GM"'s name is Duke Tobin. He's responsible for the roster that made the playoffs 6 times in a 7 year stretch and he's responsible for the free agents they acquired this offseason. He'll be responsible for building the offense around Burrow. He's a GM in every way except in title. I honestly trust him more than 2/3 of the other GMs in the NFL. And I like Burrow's chances better now than Palmer's in 2003 because Tobin wasn't in that decision-making position in 2003 when they were probably the worst franchise in North American professional sports. Back then their GM was Mike Brown, who hasn't been involved in day to day operations for a few years now. I'd take the 2019 Bengals situation over the 2002 Bengals situation 100 times out of 100. The 2002 Bengals might be the worst NFL team I've ever seen. The 2019 Bengals are a 6-10 team who lost 14 games. They have way more offensive talent than what Palmer walked into in his rookie year. Quote unless you're a historic franchise in a city people want to live in. Cincinnati is, believe it or not, a great place to live and it's a way better place to live than it was in 2003. This isn't Carson Palmer coming to a city he's not from and has no ties to. For all intents and purposes Joe Burrow is a local and isn't scared off by working here. Quote I think Burrow should have told Mike Brown not to draft him, and now that he's going to be in Cincy, he shouldn't sign any contract past his rookie year. off So he can play for the exemplar of football excellence that is the Miami Dolphins? One of the things I love about this dude is that he wouldn't do something like that and is excited by a challenge. It's not in his nature to do that and he and Zac Taylor reportedly hit it off using the maximum phone time allowed to discuss the offense. C. The rookie contract is 4 years. He can't sign a contract for fewer years than that. Quote I really hope I'm wrong I think you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from AJ Green, they have Tyler Boyd, Auden Tate, John Ross, Joe Mixon, Gio Bernard, CJ Uzomah. They got some guys. And Jonah Williams, last year's first round pick, should help their offensive line issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, the moment I can, I'm going to Vegas to put some money on the Bengals as a dark horse candidate. Because, I've seen this situation play out with the Chiefs in both 2010 and 2013. The first time turned out to be a fluke, the second time was something more sustainable. Of course, that's the difference between having Todd Haley and Scott Pioli as a coach/GM combo versus Andy Reid and John Dorsey. So, the sustainability of this success is a concern to me.

GDAWG Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 With the first pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select.....Joe Burrow, QB LSU. Right after that pick is announced, both Mike Florio and Dan Patrick will pose the questions: now that Joe Burrow was drafted by the Bengals, will he now demand a trade? Will he hold out and not show up for training camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their issue was an all-time bad defense that couldn't get off the field and put too much pressure on a marginal offense. They just spent money, like actual NFL team money, on free agents in the offseason. They lost every close game they played in last year and there's a reason for that, but two of those losses were historically improbable, two of their losses were directly due to seeing what Ryan Finley could do at QB - games Andy Dalton would've probably won, and they won two games. Flip two of those one-score losses with a better D back their way and all of a sudden they're an 8-8 football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Chase Young's living room, there were people presumably posting photos to IG or Snapchat right with the announcement; results of a delayed draft would be all over by now. I'm impressed by the production so far, TBH. I like the fan wall behind Goodell, but I'm a little surprised that dope is still using cue cards. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 I hope they secretely put in a uniform-change notice last year so that we only have to watch him play in their awful clown suits for one season. I can't believe that I still think of their costumes as their "new uniforms", even though they've had them for 16 awful years.

I know they said Todd McShay was out. There needs to be an NFL guy to discuss these picks. The college guys aren't equipped to talk about player fit or team needs. Overall the whole production is pretty good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
