fukk outta here....the league wanted Burrow to be crowned so bad. They want a new Brady ASAP.
Plus there is no guarantee Burrow ever sees another SB. Remember Lamar runs that division, and the Ravens were killing it before he got hurt. And that's with missing their top 3 RBs and being the must run heavy team in the league.
I'd put money on this being a one and done situation for them. Burrow/Bengals are more Matt Ryan/Falcons then Brady/Pats...
You're right in that they want BURROW to be a star....not necessarily the Bengals.
They need his brand to be strong but he doesn't need a bunch of rings. He can be Aaron Rodgers and just win one or two and that's more than enough to make Cincy fans happy as hell.
Los Angeles is where the $$$$ is. Chargers will never run that city and the Raiders were always Oakland's team before going to Vegas. The Rams are LA's team and with the Lakers aging roster, the Clips not doing anything...it's pretty much Dodgers and Rams. Football being football, they know the easiest way to build loyalty is to win.
Young white coach that's photogenic compared to most coaches
, star power and success. Media mostly lives on the coasts anyway. NFL wants the Giants/Jets or Rams..at least one of those 3 teams needs to be good at all times. Cowboys/Steelers/Packers/Niners and maybe the Raiders are the only franchises that trump them.
