I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

No way Patrick would say anything like that and arrogantly make it all about him.
If he’s actually serious about that, he should sign a much cheaper contract than other QB’s. I’m talking $20M per year at most. We’ll see what he does, but I am guessing the contract will be $50M per year or more based on recent contracts for Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Kyler Murray, & Deshaun Watson. [Reply]

Joe Burrow is going to be the highest-paid QB in the league for a brief period after he signs his new contract. Bank on it. [Reply]

Then he'll be unhappy when he no longer has an all star cast around him. [Reply]

The dude was asked about whether the team was in its championship window headed into the postseason - not about his career plans with the Bengals - and he basically said that coaches and players will turn over but the Super Bowl window is his entire career. He literally made it all about him.

I actually like Burrow and his cockiness is amusing, he is a little smug.
What I don't like is how Burrow's cockiness is just so aaaawesssomee to media etc...but Mahomes catches 10x the shit Burrow does from fans and media while being 10x more humble.
Mahomes hasn't beaten the Burrow led Bungles YET, but it will happen. And Mahomes HAS done a mega shit ton more than Burrow has at this point in their careers, put the respect on Mahomes name the man deserves. [Reply]

We will agree to disagree but regardless of how Chief's fans perceive Burrow, he is here to stay. Hope Mahomes is healthy and ready for try #4. [Reply]

I'm not sure there's ever been a player more lucky than Joe Burrow, wins a national title in college on a team full of high end NFL players...goes to the NFL and is surrounded by a cast of elite talent...
I'd like to see Burrow do it without the best of the best around him. [Reply]
I get it that Bengals fans want to defend Joe Burrow. If he were on our side, we'd worship the ground he walks on.
But don't for a second compare him to Mahomes in terms of humility. Mahomes exudes class at every opportunity while being a 'competitive prick' and absolute assassin on the field. Burrow on the other hand is spending time trolling fans of the opposing team and talking about how the team's SB aspirations run through him.

Like I said before the last home underdog in the conference championship was Philly in 17 against Minnesota...Philly won 38-7...the Chiefs aren't normally in this role and this should be good. [Reply]
