Kind of surprised to realized he's only a year younger than Allen.  Are Mahomes and Jackson also around the same age?

jodh and lamar in 2018

burrow in 2020. 
 

with burrow having a late bday he likely was a grade behind josh in HS

 

josh did 4 yrs, 3 at Wyoming, burrow redshirted and transferred to LSU for final 2 yrs from Ohio st.

 

lamar bday is next month turning 29. He due 3 at Louisville before Turing pro.  He graduated from HS the same yr as burrow but didn’t redshirt and didn’t do 4 yrs.

The Bengals only path to victory with that roster is with a top 5 QB. It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone, least of all Burrow, that they only won 1 game without him. Their predominant cap investment relies on QB performance first and foremost. 

 

I've said this before, the Bengals are built to win fantasy football championships, not NFL championships.   They're all about big time passing game with the running game as an afterthought and defense non-existent.

Mike Brown has been here before.

 

Burrow can want whatever he wants but he will never get traded.

 

However, Zach Taylor better start packing his bags. They'll try to appease Burrow with a new HC 

 

 

 

 

 

At least not in his prime.  Brown finally traded Carson Palmer after 8 seasons with Cincy which included, IIRC, at least one hold out.

He attached himself to Parcells for a few years then got the Patriots job where he had amazing success as a coach when Tom Brady played quarterback.  All I'm saying is I think Belichick coached the Pats for 24 seasons and Brady was QB for 19 of them.  I believe all 19 of those seasons were winning records.  There were 5 seasons he coached without Brady and 4 of those years were losing records.  You can draw whatever conclusion you want and I'm fine with that.  I'll just say it again...in my opinion Brady>Belichick by a ton.

 

Comparing QBs and HCs is like comparing apples and oranges.

 

FTR, Parcells was 0-3 in playoff games without Belichick as his DC.   Parcells was 11-5, including both his Super Bowl victories, with Belichick as his DC.
