It's irrelevant if he's a Bengal fan or not. All are welcome to post here. I also don't see what difference it makes if he cares or not cares about the Bengals. What he did do was continually post the same very negative (and unfounded) point about the Bengals not picking Burrow. After being called on it he says that he doesn't really care that much about his prediction.Originally Posted by Redhook
I disagree with you that I overreacted to Dan's comments. I also see that this is your first post in this thread. That fact sure gives the impression that you are merely a hired gun to come in here and defend Dan. Regardless of that, I wish your primary purpose was to discuss Bengal football and not to voice your opinion on what's trolling or to defend a buddy on RZ.
You’re certainly interesting, but really really out there on this one. I was just trying to defend a fellow Redszoner, who I’ve never met nor have any history with on Redszone. I believe calling him a troll was uncalled for.
Additionally, I’ve posted many many times in Bengal threads over the last 14 years of being a member of Redszone. And, if you’re going to snoop around and make very ignorant comments, do a better a job of it. Look at the recently closed 2019 Bengals thread. We actually had a conversation just 2 months ago in there. I grew up and lived in Cincinnati most of my life and I’m a huge Bengals fan. I don’t post as much as I used to because......life.
On a different note, I completely disagree with Wrongverb on why we’re having this little spat. The Bengals will absolutely pick Burrow. Barring an injury, it’s a done deal. And, I couldn’t be happier about it. I believe he’s their only chance of having a winning season again before the lease is up. Burrow equals real hope, something we haven’t had in awhile.

I documented my reasons for describing his behavior as trolling. I stand by that and I rarely use that term around here. We disagree on that but we agree that your reason for jumping in was not to talk Bengals and we agree that the Bengals will take Burrow #1. Hey, two out of three ain't bad
Stay quiet Paul...lol. Drafting Herbert #1 would be the dumbest thing ever. Trading the #1 pick for 3 first-rounders and selecting Herbert with one of them would not be the dumbest thing ever (not my preference).Paul Alexander

HOLD ON ... don’t write in JOE BURROW as the 1st pick of the NFL DRAFT quite yet. There’s another choice ... JUSTIN HERBERT who is in the mix (along with CHASE YOUNG). As a 23 year Bengal ... I’m a pretty solid source.

So far, about the only negative I’ve seen about Burrow is that he doesn’t like Skyline chili.

I like Herbert, but gosh this would be stupid, and so Bengals like.

As an organization it would be dumb to not evaluate Chase Young or Justin Herbert...I mean half way through the college season we were all still pretty split on the pick between Young and Burrow. The Bengals hold all the cards in this draft why show them to the other teams at this point.
We can bash them for a lot of things but doing there homework on other prospects is not a bad thing. Ultimately unless they dig something up on Burrow he's going to be the pick.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.

There's a reason Coach PaulAlex is unemployed right now
Agreed, and it’s not like Alexander is a credible source.
If Adam Schefter said it I would start to worry and he is pretty bullish on the Bengals taking Burrow.
I also think we have to remember what drives Mike Brown and that is $$$$$$$....
Joe Burrow at 1 will drive ticket sales more then a pack of picks that would net Tua, Patrick Queen, and Austin Jackson.

That's true but any owner would be concerned about attendance given where it's been of late for this team. We shouldn't paint Mb as a money grubber if he wants to do things to boost attendance. In fact I'd say it's a good thing. It means that he's concerned about his customer's satisfaction. From a fan's standpoint it means that we were right to not buy tickets
The Ravens didn't make it out of the first round (twice) with Jackson at the helm. And in both of those games Jackson looked very human. My Browns put a hurtin' on them in their first meeting.
My point is.... the Bengals (and Browns) just need to take care of business. If Baltimore can do it, then so can they (IMO). You only face off twice a year. And while those games are important - they're not as important as how you do vs the rest of the schedule.
With the Ravens it's all about "containing" Lamar. Yes, a huge task, but I think teams will start to adjust their defenses to take out some of that "sting" with the way the LBer position is also evolving. JMO. I think the Bengals can have a far more balanced and lethal offensive attack with a Burrow at the helm.

Gotta have fast linebackers that can tackle, to stop Jackson.
Bengals are 0/2 there at this point.
