James Arryn Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 OP folks, but off to the hospital, should be back in a day or so with 2 new 9er fans in tow. Bit nervous tbh, but I’m sure it’ll go fine. One of the girls flipped to breach so it has to be a C-section, which is less than ideal but happens every day, they tell me. Wish us luck. Bye for now.

Look, Burrow might turn out to be the real deal, but he could also end up being an average guy who benefited from an insane amount of talent around him. As a senior Burrow threw for 17 more TDs, had 1,000 more yards passing, had a completion percentage 6% higher, is 4 inches taller and significantly more athletic than Baker. He also did that against SEC defenses vs. Baker and the Big 12. Yes, Baker went #1 overall too but it wasn't remotely clear that would happen until it did. They're just different levels of prospects.

Maithanet Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Drew Brees is coming back, just like everyone expected he would. Probably safe to assume this is his last rodeo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Kiper’s latest mock draft has the Lions taking Tua at three. They talked about it on Golic and Wingo this morning and said that Stafford’s contract has an out after next season. Could be the perfect fit to take him and redshirt him for a year before saying goodbye to Stafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Burrow still be the clear top pick if Tua didn't get hurt? Look, I'm not saying Burrow is going to be a bust or anything, but if you have doubts you absolutely have to at least hear what the offers are, especially if you're only dropping back a few picks with the potential of Tua plus two more first rounders.

DanteGabriel Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Burrow seems to be having second thoughts about being drafted by the Bengals, and who can blame him? https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2020/2/18/21142422/joe-burrow-cincinnati-bengals-carson-palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Vader Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Brees is back for one last hurrah. If I was Teddy I wouldn’t wait another year. He can be a starter in the league. If Tampa moves on from Winston I could see him going there. Maybe even Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing though, nobody really has doubts anymore. Not after a record setting regular season in the SEC, and absolutely torching two playoff teams, one of which being the defending champs with the #1 defense and a QB who hadn’t lost since high school.

Nictarion Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I do think it’s odd the media is acting like Cincinnati is Cleveland or something. Like we’re where QB’s go to have their careers die. Andy freaking Dalton has a winning record as a starter here, and took the Bengals to 5 straight playoffs ffs. I would hope Burrow feels he can accomplish more than Andy Dalton. A lot of this stems from salty ass Carson Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also stems from the Bengals continually doing fuckall about shitty coaches, talent, and consistently drafting poorly for decades. It's not Cleveland, but having that as your calling card for a city is not the best endorsement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right that Carson Palmer's the reason this story has gained more traction. Pretty stunning when a guy says he thought the Cardinals were more devoted to winning than the Bengals were. Solomon Wilcots also chimed in to agree with Palmer, and I think his comments were just a week or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying with Marvin Lewis too long is absolutely fair criticism, as is being cheap in FA, but we’ve actually drafted fairly well at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought of posting it here based on the current discussion, but figured that'd just be cruel to Bengal fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
