FOX Sports:

They entered the NFL the same year, although from different angles. One calls the Cincinnati home now, while the other is a 2009 graduate of Cincinnati's St. Xavier High School.

...

Both were named Pro Bowlers last year. Kuechly said he and Burfict talked at the Pro Bowl, and Burfict passed one important test of Kuechly's when it comes to anyone who's not native to Cincinnati.

"Of course I asked him if he liked Skyline Chili and Montgomery Inn," said Kuechly. "So as long as you like those two, you're good."

Both players are more than good. ... although their styles of play have differences, both Vontaze Burfict of the Bengals and Luke Kuechly of the Panthers demand the attention of their opponents. The two third-year linebackers are the hearts of their respective defenses. They'll face off for the first time Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium as the Bengals host the Carolina Panthers .

...

Kuechly was named the AP Defensive Player of the Year last season... Burflict earned a spot on the AP All-Pro second team last season

...

"They're both very sudden and they're both good tacklers," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. "They both lead their team."

...

This will be the first game between the Bengals and Panthers since Kuechly joined Carolina but his reputation is well known.

"He is a tremendous player. We'll have our hands full," said Bengals left guard Clint Boling .

Kuechly and Burfict got to know each other through the draft process. Their relationship continued at last season's Pro Bowl, although they were on opposing teams.

"Vontaze and I were at the combine together, we were at the Pro Bowl together, he was trying to get me on punt," said Kuechly during a conference call with Cincinnati reporters. "I remember running down on punt a couple of times and he was trying to line me up, I think he was messing with me a little bit. If he's going to try to smoke me, I'm going to let him run by, I'm not too set on making this tackle, I'll run down and try to stay safe, I'll stay out of the way of that big dude."

Skyline Chili is a chain of Cincinnati-style chili restaurants based in Cincinnati, and the "official chili" of the Cincinnati Reds

Cincinnati chili has earned the praise of national food critics Jane and Michael Stern , who declared, "As connoisseurs of blue-plate food, we consider Cincinnati chili one of America's quintessential meals."

Montgomery Inn is a company with four restaurants in Cincinnati best known for its specialty, loin back ribs , and the barbecue sauce used in their preparation and serving.

Is it just me or does all that food look just awful. Probably the least excited I have been for a trip in terms of food this year. Baltimore, New England, Tampa, all great stuff offered.

 

Cinci? meh

 

It's not just you.  All that poo just looks awful.

 

That looks like a picture of boiled ribs slathered in ketchup.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
