How so? Leaf failed in a big part because of his personality, which has been a large plus for Burrow according to all reports.  Also I’m not sure they are all that similar as prospects.

Dude I thought the same thing. But  for burrows sake I hope he isn’t cause leaf was a dam idiot 

i don’t think they are similar in talent it was in some of his interviews he kinda reminded me of leaf.  Hopefully it’s just me being old and him being a millennial. Wish him the best in the nfl

trade 1st's and throw in cam and luke.   maybe they'll bite

I think Burrow is legit, but that doesn't mean he's the "next great thing" or even the best QB in the draft. That remains to be seen.

For the record, Burrow reminds of Joe Montana.... legit. His poise, pocket presence, ability to make all throws and the additional ability to move around.

Also for the record, I don't think we move up for Burrow, but if we were to, here's what the Rams gave up to move from pick 15, to the 1st overall for Goff.......Burrow is light years ahead of what Goff was at Cal.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/15201946/tennessee-titans-trade-no-1-pick-los-angeles-rams

TLDR:

Rams trade:  First round pick (15th overall), two second rounders (picks 43 & 45), third round pick (76 overall)+ next year's 1st and 3rd round picks

Titans trade: 1st overall pick, fourth rounder (113 overall) and a sixth rounder (177 overall)

I am not a Goff fan but I think the Rams are a good example of how to approach the position.  You only get one shot at a franchise QB.  Once he's in the league, if he's the real deal, you can't have him at that point.  He's not going to leave his current team.  But for most other positions, you can make up for the shortcoming in picks in free agency.  Just go buy talented players, or trade for other teams good players.  Its certainly what the Rams did.

i was wondering about him until the heisman speech.  kid is a real person.  he goes way down deep.

The ONLY way this becomes a possibility if Brady becomes our OC.

trading up for burrow wouldn’t be the same as rams trading up for Goff. The two players are entirely different and burrow would cost much more as a Heisman and national champion on top of how prolific his season was. Also considering cincy needs a franchise qb bad 
 

it wouldn’t be worth it.

throw in cam and luke and keep our draft capital

Probably have to sacrifice a virgin or move up to get Burrow.  On a totally unrelated note I wonder what Alice is doing these days.

Bengals aren’t gonna take cam he needs a new contract and has been hurt the past 2 seasons when they can draft a younger, no injury concerned qb for a much cheaper contract. I’d be ok with trading luke to knock off a first. Even then I don’t think cincy would do it. They need a franchise qb badly.

they aren't known to be the smartest

This isn’t a madden video game. Cincy has a new coaching staff. Too many unknowns with Cam right now and Luke has a concussion history and will be 30 soon. Both players need new contracts. It just doesn’t make sense when you can go young and cheaper.
