I love to tell you I told you so, so I’ll tell you I was 100000000000000% correct about Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, and I’m just relishing it. If you remember, before the 2020 NFL Draft I said the Bengals drafting Joe Burrow number one overall would be a HUGE mistake, but not because Joe Burrow sucks; in fact, I thought, and still do think, the complete opposite. If there is one thing Joe Burrow did this season, it’s prove that he can be a franchise QB. BUT, my logical thinking as to why the Bengals literally wasted their pick with Joe Burrow is exactly what I typed in blogs past. HE’S GOING TO GET HURT PLAYING FOR THE BENGALS THIS SEASON.
Of course this was met with skepticism and illogical remarks about how Joe Burrow is a can’t miss franchise player and how you have to build the team around a young QB, to which I laugh at all of you. My question to you is how the fuck do you build a team around and start a rookie QB week 1 with ZERO offensive weapons and ZERO offensive protection. Also, what good is a “can’t miss player” in the Draft if you have literally nothing to help him succeed and it will eventually lead to him getting injured?
“Oh BUt It'lL ComE In LateR DraFts” they said.
Dude, fuck that. When you’re as shitty as the Bengals, you can’t look to future drafts like that. Joe Burrow came in Week 1 and showed everyone he belonged; of course he did, I never thought he wouldn’t do that. BUT, he got the shit kicked out of him every game. Like he got obliterated almost EVERY down for the Bengals, and then Sunday, against the Washington Football Team, Burrow took one too many hits (in fact his own offensive lineman blocked the Washington defender right into his leg) and he exited the game on a cart and is done for the rest of the season.
So, now the Bengals are quite literally back where they started. Their Franchise No. 1 overall QB didn’t even make it a dismal season in Cinci. I don’t know why the Bengals even bother; there are more holes on that team than swiss cheese. The Bengals just need to tank and try again. Had they listened to me and either drafted Chase Young (whose been a stud this season) and built their absolutely atrocious defense around a playmaker like him or traded their No. 1 pick to the Dolphins for a couple, if not all, of their 3 1st round picks, the Bengals would actually be looking really good right now. Not great, but they wouldn’t have a No. 1 overall franchise QB on IR for who knows how long. Also, Chase Young (the guy I said the Bengals should’ve drafted instead of Joe Burrow) smacked the shit out of Joe Burrow before the gruesome leg injury and forced a fumble on the goal line. Chase Young 1, Joe Burrow 0.
Again, I love being right. I know my shit.
P.S. Here’s to a speedy recovery Joe Burrow!
P.P.S. Joe, demand a trade immediately.
