I wonder how this would've gone over if a black QB said this.

The media is all blaming the organization but no one's pointing out him being made of glass. He's the one who wanted them to use nearly half the salary cap on him and two WR's. Can't blame the O line for the injuries when some of them were non contact.


The media was shytting on Myles Garrett for signing a contract extension with the Browns. The shyt on him again, after made comments complaining about losing.

You're right there's no way a black QB can say what Burrow said (with the same accomplishment 2nd contract/0 SBs/0 MVPs/0 APs) and get an empathetic media reaction.....

No different than corporate America, academia, day to day in the world....
Context, and levels of understanding doesn't matter for black people
Ain't nobody feeling sorry for a black man or black QB

They'd kill Lamar for saying that. Wouldn't be any talk of how Harbaugh failed him or the GM never got him elite WR's.

Work twice as hard, for half the credit!

It's nasty shyt....been there early in my career consulting

When you are killin' shyt, they find some way to discredit/marginalize your accomplishments...while over-crediting those around you

The Bengals stable? They have missed the playoffs the last 3 years with Joe on the roster.

A team like Minny where you got everything but the QB in place would make sense to take that risk but the Jets got way more issues than QB. You would basically have Cincy East minus the top WR.

The Rams were a playoff team and brought in Ramsey, OBJ, and Miller in addition to Stafford. They fell off a cliff after winning the SB. They were ok the next 2 years and now thry are contenders again. Most importantly, Stafford actaully plays. Bengals with all the stuff you can criticize would be headed towards a home playoff game right now if he could stay on the field.
Rams started giving up their picks to get Goff, and it worked. Then they doubled down. Im just saying the jets can trade 3 firsts without touching their own pick right now, and they have shown they cant develop a qb, even with a top pick. Burrow has fluke injuries. Im not worried about recurring injuries. Id risk it.

:francis: He insisted to management that both Tee Higgins and Chase be paid in the upper echelon of Wide receivers.


I understand with Chase but that 4 year 115 million dollar contract for Higgins could have been used on a couple of good O-line men.

Respectfully he did this to himself.
Yea he’s being a baby

Above the fray.
It's only a story because Joe Burrow is one of those players the league is wanting to crown.

Healthy Burrow is just below the Mahomes, Jackson tier. And I like to say its the Deron Williams effect in terms of how he's viewed.

At one point, he was perhaps the only QB who had head to head advantage over Mahomes, and the only AFC team that blocked the Chiefs from Superbowl .

Deron Williams was one of the rare pgs that gave Chris Paul fits and problems , as CP3 was establishing himself as the premier NBA point.

What does Burrow do that is elite? I can point to things that Allen, Mahomes, and Lamar do that is elite, but it's not as easy for Burrow. People say he just has "it", but the only thing he does consistently is miss the playoffs.

The most overrated QB I've seen in twenty years. Given passes no other QB would get.

Might not even be a top 5-6 QB.
