So he's averaging about 250 yards a game with 75% completion. Congratulations to him I guess. I've only watched him play this last Saturday and there were several throws he was damn lucky to have had the receivers he does have. If you think that's a sustainable path towards winning the rest of this year and into the playoffs, you're crazy.

Built on trash hero balls. What part of that didn't you understand?

No way he’s gonna want to come back from an injury and get manhandled by Sneed.

Averaging 295 in 4 starts. 9.1ypa 76% and dropping dimes left and right.

So Burrow is a fraud and a product of his WR’s? The Bengals probably regret spending all that money on Burrow when they can get this kind of production out of Browning. Shame they’re gonna lose some really nice offensive weapons cause of that contract.


Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make . . . . .

All that's happening is the Bengals are inching their way towards a worse draft pick.

I have a feeling rfaulk's going to be pulling receipts soon... like a CVS receipt, except longer.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals lose out. Not having Chase is gonna be huge. The Steelers are trash but will be motivated by at least having a QB that is backup quality in on Sunday. Trubisky should've been out of the league years ago. Plus it's a must win home rivalry game. Gimme TJ Watt and friends. Then they play us, probably still sans Chase. Week 18, we'll see. If the Browns need the game and play everyone, I think they win as well.

it'll be interesting to see how a system QB like Burrow handles an offense without as many weapons.

how did Garappolo do after he left SF?

Unfortunately they will probably "Matt Casell" Browning to a team for a 1st with some of the idiot GM's in the league.

Undrafted FA outplaying Burrow. Tried to tell rfaulk that turd is overrated…

Who knew that other QBs could throw 50/50 jump balls?

Oh god no.

Dude looks decent and is getting reps.

Usually QB's that start on an established team can perform better and get better themselves as they have a more solid group around them.

Most here forget that is what Mahomes was lucky enough to fall into. He didn't get drafted #1 overall by the worst team in the league like Burrow did and then have to work his way out of it. I'm not knocking Mahomes but Burrow did a great job reviving that franchise.

No, Burrow is an elite QB that likes things a certain way and Zac has allowed it because 2 straight AFCCGs and a SB appearance. Like i said earlier, they had started to transform and run more UC and PA. With how the team has performed in ramping it up for Browning, it's a no-brainer that Burrow will have to adapt to less empty and get used to turning his back to the defense on occasion. Not to the extent of Browning, but more.

I think he's smart enough to see the benefits to the offense and to his overall health--by getting hit less, helps the line, better run game--since he's now missed chunks of 2 of his 4 years here.

When you catch lightning in a bottle you gotta let it shine for all it's worth, but it's still just lightning in a bottle.

Honestly, there were more than a few times during TC this year where i saw him make some eyebrow raising throws (in a good way) and i took note of it but when the time came, i didn't expect him to perform like he has. Having what he does around him is his biggest superpower. I doubt he plays like this on any other needy team that would give up something for him.

Not badmouthing him, he seems to be a good guy and he's getting the job done, i just didn't really see him playing like this, game by game, even with who he has around him.

I mean they would be stupid not to. Even I see that as the obvious move for a front office to take. There's definitely a team dumb enough to take him (hello Denver!)

Put Burrow on the Jets and he's Zach Wilson and vice versa

Why the **** would they trade him? If this was just a one off injury for Burrow, then sure, but the dude is injury prone AF. Having that cheap of an insurance policy that performs THAT well is worth way more than what the Bengals would get in a trade

Most pressures allowed this season, per PFF:

Orlando Brown Jr. - 50
Dan Moore Jr. - 48
Trey Pipkins - 48

Not really. Burrow has proved himself a starter in this league while Zach hasn't done that.

You are going to have to give at least 10% effort for me to bite.

And to add a little context...

Brown has given up a total of 6 pressures with 1 sack the last 3 weeks.

The Bengals line as a whole has played outstanding in the last 4 games with *shocked face* LG Cordell Volson being the best.

post things while you can, your season ends in two weeks

Donovan Smith - 42
Jawaan Taylor - 37

Jonah Williams - 30

no one cares

your franchise is about to be irrelevant, again

The whole reason i keep posting, is so that you will reply. Your 'verbal' proclimations are always the exact opposite of what actually happens. My good luck charm, if you will.

:)

"Stacking weeks" jfc ROFL ROFL you actually...think basement hacks know football? You realize I don't give a shit what some no name says, you do realize that right?

You care more than anyone on this MB and the Bengals MB. It's quite possible that you care more than any human ever born on this Earth. You just like to front.

Stacking weeks ROFL

Hey, it won't be the Chiefs this time! PBJ

It sure ain't much but it is improvement. Maybe next year we get some passable guys Patty can feel comfortable with...

Someone on here stated OBJ the deuce would lead to Burro being on the IR again. Who was that?

Oh, yeah, half the board. It was fairly obvious...

And what has changed? This says a ton about QB1 for the Bengals.

Maybe Burrow just holds the ball top long. Yup that's it. That scrub ass O line sure isn't the reason

Defenses lean on tape too much, that tape is coming more and more available

Ahhh. I get it now. You don't understand what that means. Clay can help you with that.

It only does in the sense that they've changed the offense to help the QB more with Burrow out. They're under center more, more play action and the running game and screen game has improved as a result.

It's not that they weren't helping Burrow out before, just that he preferred empty sets a lot and threw the ball a lot and that leads to more pressure and sacks. Not being as mobile early didn't help either.

Brownings TTT is 2.77, 21st in the league. Burrow's was 2.47, 3rd in the league.

Mahomes is 2.97

Honestly, Burrow being out is the worst thing that could have happened to every other team in the NFL. The way he played before lead to sacks and hits and somewhat limited the Bengals offense.

Seeing how it runs now will only make him better once he's back in and not missing the reads that Browning is. As well as Browning has been, he's missed several touchdowns on post-snap reads that Burrow doesn't miss.

You know who uses buzz words? People that know Jack shit about the topics they're discussing

Huh? Your team is completely irrelevant for the rest of the season and who knows if Joe will ever be the same. Uh oh...

Only one of them takes sacks at a record pace

Relax…you might not be stuck with Guy-who-becomes-Alex-Smith-in-the-playoffs. There has to be a way to void that contract.

Oh dude I'm sorry. I can remember back when we were just a piece off from greatness and always coming up short too.

Relax. When Andy leaves KC he might come help you all out too.

The Bengals have already reached their ceiling.

As soon as one of their receivers leave, it's curtains for the Burrow era.

Their defense has already cratered and will either be the reason they don't make the playoffs, or the reason they go home.

They'll be a decent team but never elite. Ever again. It is their way.

Lots of juicy stuff to come back to at the appropriate time.

lmao

pacheco's going to have a career high in rushing yards against your butter soft D

The only high he's going to get is from all the doobies he's gonna smoke before the game.

you are going to have a rude awakening

Nick Mullens and Ty Chandler are not suiting up in red and gold.

Mahomes may have his best game of the season.

Mullens feasted other than a couple dumb throws

Tip of the hat to you. It takes balls to post an actual picture of yourself on this site.

me walking into the thread and seeing rfaulk's posts

I am a very secure man.

Thank you. Love you too.

Good lord. He's never going to be the same.

Exclusive: New details emerge about Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's injury, surgeon who operated on him

Glass Joe is shattered at 25 years old. Can you imagine this guy makes it to 30 in the NFL?

Hah he just turned 27!

Geez look at me being dumb and saying 25 up there.

He’ll take the Andrew Luck route and be out of the NFL very early.

I don't think he taps out early - I think he gets finished.

Same result though.

So far he's just had his body broken in many different ways. Wait until Orlando gives up a killshot and Joe gets his brain jello'd real nice. He'll see what a waste of time it is trying to make a winner out of a loser city and call it a career.

A Trent Green style shot wouldn't break my heart

Dirty ****ing scum bungles.

Joe isn't going anywhere. Out of the league at 30 is rediculous. He will be back.

YOURE RUINING THE THREAD

Lemme get it back on track.

*clears throat*

Joe Burrow is your daddy and Jake Browning will fill in as your step-father next week, bitches!!

Burro is what it is but if we lose the game to Browning...ugh. That'll be a hard one to swallow.

Jake Browning is banging Olivia Holzmacher?

Lol. No ring qbs are never anyone daddy.

Yeah at this point Joe has just been shooting blanks. Or maybe he's uni-nut like clay.

my swimmers are actually quite potent ;)

Who wouldn't? :shrug:

And meanwhile your shit team is down 24-0 to Mason Rudolph.

ROFL

oh yeah. let's find some juicy stuff

Come out and answer for your teams performance rfaulk34.

Browning no better than Joe. No Chase and shit the bed.

Told you. Bengals are losing out.

Burrowhead my ass!
