re: Burrow needs to get tf out of Cinci

He’s as soft as charmin. This will happen wherever he plays.

Soft and injury prone are two different things, just FYI.

It’s not like he’s missing time with marginal injuries. He plays unless he literally can’t, problem is he literally can’t about half the time and it’s always season ending.

He's basically the Archie Manning of the 2020's....

On a bigger note, it’s a shame what’s been going down with that 2020 QB class outside of Hurts.

your bias is showing again. First of all the 4 first rounders and Hurts are all 28 and under.

Herbert was lights out his first 3 years had a down year in 2023 but looks much better since mid last season with a new, much better coaching staff. He’s only 27.

Love also 27 has only started 2 years he was banged up last year but looks healthy thru 2 games at least and has what maybe the leagues defense,

Despite your bias toward and hatred of Burrow/LSU, he has played at an elite level since his rookie year. Injuries are a concern since he’s now had 3 season ended. A bad organization and yes his own input especially on Higgins have hindered greater team success. Could be this generation Marino or Andrew Luck

The closest thing to a lagger is your boy Tua, I do not say that out of bias because I do think he’s a very good player and seems like a good guy. But injuries are an even bigger concern with Tua, he’s only played 1 full season and has had 2 career threatening concussions that could affect his life well beyond football. His 1 healthy season he had elite production. Things appear to be going sideways with McDaniel so I’d except a new coach next year and hopefully he stays healthy and has success the next few years.

Nothing really to say about Hurts he’s been great and obviously had the most team success, expect more of the same.

This could easily go down as 1 of the all time great QB classes, your bias against Burrow aside.

And just another Burrow hater, anyone who’s seen the Fiesta Bowl hit and this he’s soft is just a hater. His problem maybe actually the opposite he doesn’t dump off or give up to avoid sacks/hits

---

Calling Burrow soft is dumb. He doesn’t avoid contact nearly enough, which is the opposite of soft.

It’s even dumber when you say “I know the difference between soft and injury prone”.

It’s hard to win a championship when you have 40% of your salary cap tied up to 3 players

---

Not that Jerry Jones is exactly the model to follow these days, but this is exactly why they moved Micah Parsons. They would have had the better part of 50% of their cap taken by three players and that's just too limiting in the current NFL roster management model.

quote:

---

But Parsons plays a position you should pay, 50% tied up in 3 players is just horrible cap management

---

It's awful cap management, but a reality when you're paying a QB and have another couple of elite players.

$47 million/year is way too much, even for an elite pass rusher, especially since his contract is covering years where he would have declining performance. That's elite QB money.

quote:

---

But Parsons plays a position you should pay

---

Sure but you don’t pay that much for a guy who isn’t even the best at his own position and doesn’t have the accolades to warrant it. If you were getting JJ Watt or Aaron Donald when they were 24-25 years old yeah go for it because they were DPOY candidates annually but Parsons isn’t at that level.

quote:

but Parsons isn’t at that level.

Parsons isn't at DPOY level?

He was 3rd in voting for the 2023 season

#2 in 2022

#2 in 2021

Parsons isn't at DPOY level?

I'm sure if he didn't disappear every season for weeks at a time, he would have won it by now.
