The thing is too, did we ever hear any of this from the media when the Browns were taking one of their 8 million high draft picks since they've been back? Was one word uttered about Mayfield/Manziel/Couch not going to the Browns as they continued their reign of terror of murdering potential QB's? No, not a word. And not a word about any of their other high picks who were destined for the gutter. The league and media has some weird semi-Chubb (see what I did there) for that flaccid nightmare of an org. The Bengals have had like 3 QB's since Palmer (who I think I hate now). They stick with QB's to a fault. This narrative they are trying to drive really is bullshit and they apparently have Burrow's ear a bit, feeding him their wanna-be story. I mean, dammit, this is the only time of year when its fun to be a long suffering fan. We gots hope. And they are effing it all up for clicks, rat-bastards. I gotta step away until March. Lolz

This whole thing is bullshit. If the media drumming up clicks and these old nothings (Bartkowski? when's the last time anyone gave two shits about that guy?) drives some sort of narrative into reality, I'm done. In the same article, and the Ringer article you have them engineering a trade to Miami like its some glorious organization. Miami sucks and has sucked for a long time. Stephen Ross blows. I'm gonna tune this crap out for now, let's wait until Taylor and the organization at least talks to Burrow. Won't stop these honks from throwing crap to the wall creating a narrative. But I've decided I'd leave the entire NFL behind if they drive this to fruition. Eff this garbage. Never seen anything quite like this.

I like the Bengals. I like the Buckeyes. I like Joe Burrow and am excited for him to hopefully get drafted by the Bengals. This thread sucks.

Seems kinda mean.

So there have been a number of national news outlets/opinion shows that have thrown out the talk fodder of “Should Joe Burrow pull an Eli Manning (2004 draft on San Diego) and refuse to play for the Bengals”. #1: I hate them for putting that out in the universe lolz. We’re only allowed to crap on the organization. #2: Thinking that out, I can honestly say that would be the last straw and make me quit the NFL forever. Because hope is all we have sometime on this team and that would destroy all illusion of a level playing field in the league. I’ve always wondered what’d finally take to make me quit this team. Yep, that’d do it.
