Where did we have the opportunity to draft Burrow or Allen? Do you already forget how miserable the Bengals were before Burrow?

Well, this past draft was an opportunity to draft a potential Allen.  We passed on that and signed the worst QB in the NFL instead.

and Allen had a really rough rookie season (so you can’t really use the Fields didn’t look great argument).   But it’s why you draft talent at QB when you don’t have it.   5 wins with Fields would feel a lot different right now.  Because I’m sure he would have had those moments here like he did in Chicago vs the Steelers, SF, etc.

Has there ever been a draft without a future pro bowl QB in it? I don’t think there has been... and yes I know pro bowl isn’t an amazing qualifier but point is no matter how bad a draft may seem at QB there will always still be at least 1-2 guys who wind up being solid starters at worst

2013

E.J. Manuel: Buffalo Bills (Round 1, Pick 16)

Geno Smith: New York Jets (Round 2, Pick 39)

Mike Glennon: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Round 3, Pick 73)

Matt Barkley: Philadelphia Eagles: (Round 4, Pick 98)

Ryan Nassib: New York Giants (Round 4, Pick 110)

Landry Jones: Pittsburgh Steelers (Round 4, Pick 115)

4th Round: Tyler Wilson

7th Round: Brad Sorensen, Zac Dysert, B.J. Daniels, Sean Renfree

Fields isn’t Allen and that’s ok.

We don’t know what Fields will be.   Allen was trash as a rookie QB if you recall. 

Fields is super talented and it showed in games like that prime time one vs the Steelers.   If the book is already written on Fields….then it would have been on Allen at the same time.

More excited and enjoyable watching teams like the Bills and Bengals play.

Thanks Rhule and Tepper for the experience.

For real, they got Tee higgins and Tyler Boyd ballin and we got Fatt Rhule wanting to reteach TMJ his gait/how to walk properly to be a great WR. Can't make up some of this stuff that comes out of his mouth.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
