POLL Call your shot. Burrow or Herbert next 5 years.

[Clayton]

The answer is 'yes'

Not sure this debate is going to be fully over for at least a decade.

 

[SteelersPride]

so, you're saying it's not too late to vote?

edit: Is Burrow now better than Allen?

Vote away!

edit: Is Burrow now better than Allen?

Ahh, no, Burrow's defense played better tho.

 

[megalodon30]

This take aged as well as your Jimmy take

I was certainly wrong about Burrow. Kid has a lot more moxie than I realized.

 

[Sportsguy9695]

We won’t know the true answer till there done playing and we can look back at there careers am I right?

 

[shopson67]

Having said that and can't believe I'm about to say this but kudos to Mike Brown for sticking with Zac Taylor through some very lean times and for the Bengals F.O. for bringing in the right mix of guys to make the team more complete.

More FO should give their coach several seasons, especially if they draft a #1 overall QB early on. Let the staff grow with that QB. Drafting his teammate Chase was definitely a cheat code, lol.

bump

This was the one that should have been bumped:

POLL - Would You Rather? Baker vs Burrow

Lot of people if they had the choice would be stuck with Mayfield right now instead of Joe Cool. In other words they would have been fired this offseason.

i am worried that moxie and early success could lead to over confidence and a big let down. his teammates keep him in check, he will be fine

Yes. And he needs an o-line. He won’t be long for the NFL if his team stays near the top in sacks allowed every year. He’s got the chops, Bengals just need to do all they can to keep him upright.

i would draft the and/or trade for o-line almost solely this offseason. There will be a ton of good FA o-line and they need to spend. He has 3 great weapons to throw and 2 very good rbs. Defense is pretty solid as well. protect him and you will always have a shot to go all the way

 

[elguapo]

I am so conflicted on this SB. I am a Detroit fan for life, so I wanna see Stafford get one. I also have some strange desire to see Cincy get one and I really like Burrow.

I still think back to when cincy was running away with AFC when pittsburgh does pittsburgh things and took Carson's knee out in like the 2nd play of that playoff game.

 

[Manster7588]

I'm on the fence. Both look like they can be the elite QBs soon.

I was team baker…

PFF had an interesting discussion on these two about a month back. Their head analytics guy liked Burrow a hair more because he'd been successful at the college and NFL level while Herbert had dysfunction at the college level and his rookie year. The other analytics guy liked Herbert more because he had better traits.

Its an interesting discussion at this point but Burrow is certainly winning.

 

[Anointed One]

Sticking with my Burrow vote...

The Bengals are not good at drafting offensive lineman. I hope they use all the CAP for that and draft some D-Lineman and Corners.

But disclaimer - If for some ungodly reason Jameson Williams falls to the Bengals in the 1st, they gotta take him. No questions asked.

Ummm..no. I don't care if he is the next Jerry Rice. We took t he luxury pick on Chase last year, now we have to protect Burrow and we don't run a ton of 4 WR sets, and with Boyd being the oldest WR, he is the most likely out. With Boyd's contract, production and leadership he is not going anywhere. Absolutely no way we do anything other than OL, with a chance at CB if we spent money in FA on two good players to help us out. TE is a possibility. But once again, only if we got TWO good offensive lineman in FA. I am seeing more a FA - Right Tackle and a drafted C in the first round is what I am expecting. Still expecting them to work with their young guys to find a RG that can play from the guys they have drafted the previous two years.

I actually like the TE situation. I hope Thad gets some reps next season.

I get what you're saying, I know the O-line is an issue, but the track record of early round big men has not been good recently for the Bengals. Jameson is a top 5 pick being slide because of injury. Its no way he's falling that far anyways. But if the situation comes up....

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

I'm sorry @CrashDavisSports , but after the Fischers and Price's and that bum from Texas A&M, I'm somewhat over it. Bengals have money now.

 

[PDay8810]

Ahh, no, Burrow's defense played better tho.

apparently unlike you...I remain unsure about the future. As of today, I'd say Borrow doesn't look like he's behind. We are talking about kid drafted 2 years ago by a team with the worst record in football
