The basic math….

 

The average per year: $55m per

Total guaranteed:   $219m

 

Good for Burrow, who by all accounts is a good guy.   And good for Cincy which has a long history of screwing things up with their top players.   They got this one right.

The Brown family knows how much he means to this city. The last time we truly had a QB of this talent was probably ‘69 with Cook. Joe truly loves Cincy and the city has reciprocated that love in ways I’ve never seen before. Carson Palmer was never supported as much as this kid is.

Congratulations to Joe Burrow & the Cincinnati Bengals for solidifying their QB situation for years to come!!

 

The AMOUNT of the contract goes against everything that the Bengals have been criticized for in the past.  Maybe this about-face makes more veteran free agents consider the small-market Cincinnati Bengals.

Everytime I see a a QB get paid I think of that one post which said something like I’ll rather build a team with a QB like Brissett instead of Mahomes

Cincy ever showed for the Browns game.

Tennessee loses to Saints.

Houston failed to win......again.

Did I hear right? Did Burrow get benched briefly for his inept performance on the field versus the Browns?

Gotta be the most embarrassing showing ever...the highest paid player then goes out and has that performance.. dang bro

I could of played as good as he did today

It is an annual thing, Bengals losing to the Browns. The last 2 years, their average margin of loss has been 1 score against other teams EXCEPT versus the Browns that they have lost to by an average of 15 plus points in their losses. Go figure.

Burrow threw for a total of 82 yards vs. Cleveland. I think Cincy started 0-2 last year.

Burrow missing most of training camp hurt. It felt like a trap game from the moment the schedule came out. 

 

He'll get better as the season progresses. They always seem to start slow. The key to watch for is their revamped line. They spent a lot to fix it and so far the returns have been limited.
