spicoli Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Man I fully understand that Mahomes has a fantastic arm but there’s NO WAY in hell he’s got a stronger arm than Josh Allen does. That kid has the same kind of arm talent John Elway had coming out of Stanford. Howitzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes makes throws you aren't supposed to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esjbh2 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I wonder if a copy of that article is hanging in JB's locker yet? I know he had a pretty small sample size last year, but Lawrence is mentioned more favorably than JB and Sunshine hasn't even taken a snap in a real NFL game yet. Reading that article would lead you to believe JB is a noodle arm also ran. How disrespectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooky Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 The media always has, always will hate us. Yet they have a huge boner for the browns who have been crappy(redundant) for decades and not that far removed from 0-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENGALS666 Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I don't have any issue w the media hating The Bengals. The team has earned it dozens of times over. 6 game win average since 1990. Not even close to being in the Super Bowl convo outside maybe one season that entire run. This is some futile shit. And...it will make any future success that much sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And...it will make any future success that much sweeter. Why are you lumping in the 90s? To pad your point obviously. If you're going to cherry pick, why not say they are only a couple of seasons removed from being in the playoffs 7 out of 11 seasons? How many teams have done that including 5 in a row? Yet, they were never in the media super bowl conversation and never will be unless they actually make it to the super bowl. The browns were constantly in it when they hadn't been to the playoffs in 20 years. And a small market is no excuse to hate on a team. If they're just pandering to bigger markets, they're not really football analysts, just marketing experts. The real reason is obvious. They hate Mike Brown and they hate Cincinnati in general for its conservative reputation. It's not hard to find Cincinnati bashing articles that aren't sports related.

Jason Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Even when they compliment Burrow in the article it's backhanded. "Because Joe Burrow lacks arm strength..." He's going to surprise a few people this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
