1st, I will start this off by saying, I am not a huge Joe Burrow fan.
I think he had one of, if not the best, college seasons a college QB has ever had. He had a great team around him and he took full advantage of it.
I think he is a great kid and I have nothing personal against him, but I am just not sold on him in the NFL.
He wasn't a huge recruit coming out of high school and couldn't beat out the QB's at Ohio St.
If he goes to a good team in the NFL, he could be a nice player.
That being said, the Cincinnati Bengals aren't a good team currently. I don't believe he could come in and rise the franchise out of the hole they are currently in.
Also, the best player in most peoples mind in this draft, is a homegrown kid for them.
He is a once generational type of talent and comes plays a position that the Bengals could upgrade.
Also, as of yesterday, a young, franchise QB became available.
Tell me the last time a 25 year old, former #1 overall High School Player, NFL #1 draft selected and led the NFL in passing yards the prior year, was available as a FA.
There isn't a doubt in mind that that Jameis WInston is the more talented player between himself and Burrow. Jameis has also already gone thru the bumps and bruises of being a young player in the NFL while only being 25 years old. These young, talented and proven (I know he throws a lot of ints) QB's don't become available very often.
If you look at Cincinnati, the offensive parts are there, now.
They will be getting back help on the Oline, the have very good weapons at the WR position and they have a very good, young RB.
Adding Jameis Winston and Chase Young to the Bengals would have 2 young stars that this franchise desperately needs and could build around.
Its my opinion that the Bengals should do everything they can to sign Jameis and draft Young .
I understand Jameis can not be some peoples cup of tea but again, young QB's like him don't become available very often.....especially when players like Young can also be had.
Thoughts?
