    Yep. A few years back I read some articles that the Brown's front office position, under Haslam, had shifted their approach .... because the organization had such a terrible history, luck, whatever, getting burned badly in drafting QBs (finding anyone to fill the job) .... they wanted to build/improve the support structure first, put the team in a better position, THEN go get your QB and plug him in.

    The only problem? .... what are you passing over? What happens if your QB isn't there when you need him, or you aren't in the position to draft them before the opposition because you managed to win three games that year (LOL)? IMO, you're taking far more risks and will never show much improvement on that plane if you take such an approach to the most important position on that field.

    Tua?

    Tagovailoa suffered a right hip dislocation with posterior wall fracture. The hope is he can avoid a “Bo Jackson” situation where avascular necrosis (AVN), which is a lack of blood supply to the ball of the femur, causes the bone and overlying cartilage to die out.

    Even if he avoids this, Tagovailoa cannot avoid the inevitable post-traumatic arthritis. He also has had two ankle surgeries.
    Wish the kid all the luck in the world ... but that's a pretty traumatic injury, and high potential of risk, looking at the physical job requirements. He's a banged up, busted up "Cam Newton" coming out of college.

    Normally I would be against paying AJ at his age, but Burrow needs all the help he can get.

    Extending Mixon is probably a dumb move (it's probably not very smart to give ANY RB a 2nd contract) analytically but I'll be okay with it for the sake of helping Burrow as well.

    Exactly, passing on Mahomes and Watson for Baker doesn’t look all that bright, at least in hindsight.

    That said, I have it on very good authority that Watson purposefully tanked his pre-draft interview with the Browns, on advice from his advisors.

    Bengals have to take Burrow, plain and simple. I wouldn’t trade the pick for anything less than four first rounders or Pat Mahomes himself. When you’re convinced you have the opportunity to draft a true franchise QB, you have to take it.

    You know what would help unlock Mixon's full potential under a potential contract extension? Joe Burrow - who absolutely made excellent use of Edwards-Hellaire this year and knows how to get the ball to his RB in areas where they can do something with it...
    Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2

    Did you see how they are going to do the 1st round of the draft? You just know something's going to happen to the boat when Burrow's on it and he either hurts himself or drowns.

I doubt his best interests will be served by sitting out the yr given his age and all the time he's missed. He will complain and moan about the Bengals but franchising him is the right move

    My prediction is Green signs a 2 or 3 year deal.

    Family source also tells me Joe Burrow would never “pull an Eli Manning” if drafted No. 1 by the #Bengals.

    The family has been a bit annoyed by that narrative.

    This makes a lot of sense.

    Fred and Barney got into a lot of trouble trying that one.

    He said today he'd be stupid to turn down $18M for one year (the frachise tag amount).
