Not going to get my hopes but I loved seeing Odell making big plays and baker being cocky and playing with fire like at Oklahoma and his rookie year. Now if he can only do that when his team has and overwhelming talent advantage then....damn.
Burrow is a stud that truly all the great intangibles people gave to baker he has without the obnoxious. Accurate, poise as hell, quick eyes, very good (not great) arm, nice mobility. Mentally tough enough and developed enough it’s going to be hard for the bengals to ruin him.
Marvin Lewis wasn’t a great HC but he had a exceptional eye for talent (always thought he was more a GM they had coach to save money) which is essential with a bargain bin scouting operation from a cheap owner. All they’re high priced vets are washed. Mixon is a great talent, have a couple guys who can be solid 3-4 options but garbage everywhere else. Defense has a couple guys but pretty garbage. Not the current browns and old bengals ie talented but dumb and lacking poise and coaching. Like the old browns but with a bonafide franchise Qb, which is something.
