![]() ![]() Teams have occasionally won a bunch of games. History shows to not expect some transformative performance by both the quarterback and team. What do realistic expectations look like for Burrow next season? The best way to evaluate is to look at the subset of those picked at the top of the draft over the last dozen years. Arguments can be made whether he’s the best quarterback to come out of the draft since Andrew Luck or whoever, take your pick, but Burrow has to this point mostly been talked about through historical context and not even in the same discussion with the rest of this class (primarily due to Tua Tagovailoa’s injuries). Burrow is the class of college football after completing arguably the greatest season the game has ever seen at the position and leading LSU to a national championship. Really, judging the class means very little to the Bengals. Ryan Finley: Complete dumpster fire of a three-game debut last year means he’ll fight to preserve a backup spot in preseason. Jake Dolegala: Intriguing enough last offseason and preseason to keep on the 53-man roster so he’ll compete to back up Burrow. The Bengals have lived in quarterback purgatory for a decade and now take their swing at the franchise-changing home run.Īndy Dalton: Still, technically, under contract with the Bengals but will be traded or cut since there’s basically no way to financially keep him on board once the season starts. There is no more prized possession in roster construction than the quality quarterback on a rookie contract. Disregarding the inevitability, this ranks as the top priority. You can argue the priority should be at the bottom if you understood any potential complications were all put to rest at the combine and selecting Joe Burrow has long been a foregone conclusion. We analyze the current roster, trends, analytics, sleepers, bold moves and also opinions from our draft gurus Dane Brugler and Joe Goodberry. and Jay Morrison take a deep dive into the Bengals’ draft strategy by taking stock of each position and addressing where need meets fit. ![]()
