They all say they want to play for one team. Most of the time it doesn't happen. We shall see.

I think of the current crop of young and rising QB's Joe is the real deal.
I like everything about that dudes attitude, outlook and how he plays.
I'd take him on our team in a heart beat.

Difficulty: Lions fan.

He's an Ohio guy, he's already been to one Super Bowl and he's probably the most popular person in this town ever. This is not a surprise.

Wouldn't mind him being on my Texans.  I still blame a lack of an offensive line for hus brother ñot reaching his potential.

When it's more economical for you to move an average QB than fire a shiatty coach, you have seriously screwed the pooch as a franchise.

Well, I'm not sure it's economics, it's usually "trying to save your ass."

Take Denver's GM, George Paton.  Trading all those players and draft capital for Wilson, and then signing him to so much guaranteed money, was apparently a huge mistake, because the team will take years to recover.  But if he admits that, Greg Penner will fire his arse.  So he has to can the head coach and hope next year is better.

There are countless examples of similar blame shifting - head coaches fire coordinators to save their jobs, etc, etc.

When Ziegler (Raiders GM) and McD took over and the team went backwards from a playoff team to 6-10, someone has to be the fall guy.  Apparently it's Derek Carr, not the decision to maintain one of the worst O-lines in the League, but also continuing the Raiders' tradition of having a bottom-3 defense.

Yeah I agree... He's from the region, the idea isn't too far out in left field

I'd take burrow over any QB in the league, sans Mahomes.

Difficulty... cardinals fan.

I like him and the direction the team seems to be going.    It's tough living in Browns town.

The Bengals agree--they actually took the old man's name off the stadium and sold the naming rights, apparently so they can keep Joe B and the band together.

The Bengals aren't the team they once were during the days of Burfict.  Now that the Browns are piles of shiat, the Bengals are my scrappy AFC team to root for.

I hope he is. The Bengals have become a joy to watch with Burrow and Chase and I'd love to see that band stay together for a good long time.

The Browns have been...well, the Browns for the last several decades with a hiccup or two of not being awful

Yeah, but now they've got a serial sexual assaulter at QB.

But in a plucky sort of way.  You felt bad for them like a puppy with only three legs.

Now they've put their lot in with a serial sexual abuser.  They can rot.

They still have to fit under the same salary cap as everyone else. Selling naming rights maybe means they can charge less for tickets, but I doubt they are doing that.

Some of the cheapest tickets in the NFL and they didn't go up a dime after the Super Bowl run. Best value in the NFL.

They're *finally* raising the prices this off-season, but nobody in Cincinnati cares.

Plus it's not about the salary cap anyways. Apparently NFL rules dictate that any guaranteed money in contracts has to be in escrow somewhere, so that's where the naming rights money is going - Joe's guarantee.
