 It just seems like some of these prospects may be more Bradford than Burrow,

January 2020: Is Joe Burrow just a young quarterback catching magic in a bottle for one spectacular season thanks to the cast surrounding him full of future NFL receivers? This is the same guy who lost to Feleipe Franks, got skunked by Bama.

I'm not sure what you are trying to communicate here. Burrow was regarded as the best of that qb class and so far has proven that standing. My apologies if I am misunderstanding your message.

Also, let us not forget Curly Neal and Meadowlark Lemon, they may have been Harlem Globetrotters, but we have to remember beyond the entertainment, the two men were masters of the sport of basketball as well.

"We didn't win the Super Bowl, so it wasn't worth it" is such a wild response to drafting a HoF pass rusher.

 

It’s almost as dumb as don’t draft a qb because they might not work out.

Anyone saying that is saying they wouldn’t have drafted Cam, who definitely had red flags on not working out, and look like an idiot tbh. This logic can actually be applied to a lot of good QBs playing or have played.

What really matters is a competent FO, which we don’t have, like not even close.
