The price tag for Burrow would likely be an NFL record amount.

Probably  true but  outside of pass rusher and MLB, I think the teams foundation is in a good spot. Especially  looking at our division  going forward.

Week 16 rookie QB making his 1st start. I'd expect him to be. However, if he performs as well as or better than Bryce, then it's DC's gameplay to minimize throwing opportunities, etc etc 

Ewers also has very little NFL ability at all. He's likely even less suited to the NFL than the absolutely atrocious Dillon Gabriel.

I understand  your logic but can't stop a man from dreaming

The prospect of being traded from the Bengals to the Panthers would probably have Burrow dreaming of sandy beaches and umbrella drinks.

Lmao Quinn Ewers

Yeah, Ewers made a really dumb decision. He's a posterchild of a guy who needs to cash NIL checks until he runs out of eligibility. He's a very limited NFL QB prospect but he's still a pretty good college QB. 

If you're a mid to late round NFL QB prospect I guarantee you there's more money for you in the portal than there is in the NFL.

We would just be a substantially less talented Bengals. It's fun to dream but you would probably be looking at this roster being the at peak of its greatness right now, and it's easily a bottom 5 roster in the history of the franchise.

I would imagine the draft capital we would have to give up would put us in a 3-5 year hole almost immediately.

Plus, if I were Burrow, I would immediately retire if the idea of being traded here was on the table.

Did he have eligibility left???

This news is a GIANT glowing neon warning sign for the Panthers front office.

Unfortunately I have legitimate and justified doubts they will heed said warning.

Everything they have done to this point has been about doubling tripling and quadrupling down.

Yeah, his OSU season went down as a redshirt year so he had another year of eligibility remaining.

That's hilarious. I wonder if it was a "mutual parting of ways" given they had Arch Manning and they knew he wouldn't be able to beat out Ewers again.
