Looks like the Bengals are cooked. They arent built to win without Burrow under center. The Brown probably can’t win a SB with a backup QB but they can make the POs with thar defense as long as the QB doesn’t lose them the game.1. I'm not a Bengals fan, I'm straight Browns.
2. Yes, the Bengals lost in Super Bowls to the niners... nothing to be ashamed about.
3. Yes, Burrow was close and who knows if he'll make it back. Dan Marino said once that when he made it in his second year he assumed he would have plenty more chances. He never did.
My point is that the Bengals were a laughing stock for decades with a small come-uppance with Carson Palmer, Chad Johnson, etc (with first round exits in the playoffs). It takes time to get the stink off a team as far as perception. Teams like the Lions, the Browns.. they've been bad for so long that it takes more than a season to get the respect. The Bengals were in the same class as us, but when you make a Super Bowl you're legit. The Browns had a shot a few years ago when they beat Pittsburgh and then barely lost to Kansas City. But, not good enough.
They’re bringing in Flacco for a workout.. I thought he was damaged goods but he didn’t look half bad on the JetsLooks like the Bengals are cooked.

If you’re hanging your hopes on Flacco it’s dire times.They’re bringing in Flacco for a workout.. I thought he was damaged goods but he didn’t look half bad on the Jets
Not as dire as having an inexperienced, unproven, poorly performing rookieIf you’re hanging your hopes on Flacco it’s dire times.

To what end though? With Watson healthy the Browns might have been a fringe SB contender. They might make the PO with Flacco though that’s highly questionable. Or they can see what the rookie they drafted might actually be. If you thought there was a chance to make a deep PO run by bringing in Flacco maybe but that’s not real. Flacco is almost a decade removed from being a good qb. He was never great he just had a phenomenal defense in Baltimore.Not as dire as having an inexperienced, unproven, poorly performing rookie
If Flacco is 75% of his prime, we can make the playoffs.. elite defenses elevate average QB play. See early Tom Brady
We saw both QBs the browns have already. They both bombed. If you have an elite defense, you go get a QB that has experience and the proven capability to be effective in the NFL.To what end though?

The rookie played 1 game with zero notice. He didn’t find out he was starting until a couple hours before the game. Against Baltimore who has one of the best defenses in the league. That doesnt seem like much of a shot.We saw both QBs the browns have already. They both bombed.

Flacco won’t light things up, but he’s seen it all, and can keep mistakes down and probably make a few big throws when needed

What are the chances the Browns win a SB with Flacco as QB? Keeping in mind he hasn’t been any good for the better part of a decade and was never all that good to begin with.
This is desperate and a mistake IMO. They drafted the kid let him play. Why did they keep him on the roster if he wasn’t good enough to play in the event Watson went down?
Flacco played relatively acceptable the past 3 years for minimal games with the Jets:The rookie played 1 game with zero notice.

Flacco isnt winning you SB. The defense is good but it ain’t that good. So what’s the upside? Why not give the rookie the experience?Flacco played relatively acceptable the past 3 years for minimal games with the Jets:
2022 5 games 5 TD 3 INT
2021 2 games 3 TD 0 INT
2020 5 games 6 TD 3 INT
Last 12 games 14 TD 6 INT… hes been serviceable.
Meanwhile, the browns have to strike now while they have people under contract and have this defense. They can’t wait 2 years to develop a young 5th round rookie. They were built with a 3 year window
Because a 5th round pick out of UCLA who throws 3 INT's in his debut, having his confidence crushed, isn't someone who coaches and personnel can rely on to save their jobs, that's why.Flacco isnt winning you SB.

I just heard that this is the year the Bengals are supposed to win it all. If not this year, they can't possibly keep all the talent they have right now. Too many great guys are going to be leaving next year.They made the Super Bowl.. you guys can’t win a single playoff game even when the rarity happens
Based on our recent convo, one thing is for sure.I just heard that this is the year the Bengals are supposed to win it all. If not this year, they can't possibly keep all the talent they have right now. Too many great guys are going to be leaving next year.
How come this doesn't happen to Mahomes? How come he doesn't lose a bunch of players and his team falls apart? Is Cinci not a big enough market with deep enough pockets? Or New England. How did they keep it together for years?
But I thought about you yesterday when they said this. Sucks for Bengals fans the year they're supposed to win it all, Burrows is hurt.
Reminds me of Stafford. Rams were designed to win it one year. They knew they wouldn't be as good the following year. They're lucky they kept Aaron Donald. I think he was going to retire?
I think the Jets were designed to win it all this year?
How many years does Josh Allen's Bills have?
Cowboys?
Good thing about the Lion's is we are good AND young.
Based on our recent convo, one thing is for sure.
If white males own these corporate teams, they are surely racist, sexist homophobes.
Right?
Proof? LOL.The Dallas owner compared his players to slaves. Or he considers them his slaves. To be bought and sold.
One guy out of 100’s of professional teams.. wow. You sure proved your point (not)How about Sterling? The guy who owned the Clippers? Yes, racist AF.
Do you think the average person is racist?Most billionaire white dudes who own a sport team, probably at least as racist as the average person right? Probably more. But they look down on all of us.
I'm just saying the owner of the Cowboys treats his players like he owns them. In many ways. And one of the reasons he loves owning these big black bucks is that it makes him feel like a plantation owner.Proof? LOL.
And wait, does he only employ black players? (No.. so bye bye narrative)

That’s a problem. Why don’t you stop being that way? And how is it that you can be a self-identifying racist yet go around condemning people for racial issues??I'm a liberal and I'm racist.
