A world of Joes

Way too expensive for a QB that doesn't necessarily grade 'off the charts', plus we have a ton of depth issues and would be setting him up to fail.

Here's a crazy "technically could happen but won't" scenario.

Imagine if Burrow pulled an Elway / Eli maneuver and refused to play for the Bengals...

How many if the current elite NFL QBs graded off the charts?

If we hire this guy's college passing game coordinator who everyone is raving about and he pounds the table for the guy? That's all I need to know. Stopwatches, radar guns, and draft grades don't win any NFL games.

Video cameras sometimes do.

I would do it. Brady and Burrow would be great. Brady and Cam, I might be a little concerned. The commentators, on tonight's game, mentioned the complexity of the offense and the need for the quarterback to quickly process information on the fly. Not saying Cam's not able, just that Cam isn't known for this.

only way I can stomach moving on from Cam is if we replace him with another franchise QB

I came in this thread with a strong hell no but then someone mentioned with cams salary off the books we could have up to $60 million in cap space....thats enough to get a couple good FA when you dont have picks because of trade up for Burrow. Actually makes it a lot more interesting then. 

For the record i do think Burrow is a legit franchise QB for a long time.

What’s up @RumHam? I see you are proving how much smarter you are than everyone else again, eh? 
 

Dude sets the single season TD record while going undefeated and winning the national championship but! That is not quite good enough for you huh?

This. It's gonna be a hard sell for Tepper and crew to move on from Cam and then field more hot trash like this season at QB again next year.

What grades are you referring to?

I would say guys like Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Kyler Murray, Matt Stafford, etc hit all the checks in the boxes you want to see and are these sure fire things. Joe Burrow does not hit every single tick, and has some things you would have questions about in his transition into the NFL.

Huge Cam fan here, but I’d do it. I’d be willing to give up this years first, next years, and a few more picks from these next two years. It’s hard as hell to find a franchise QB, and if you believe Joe is that guy, then you go and get him. We could build a solid o line with free agency and the remaining draft capital; especially if we have 60 mill to spend
