So, if he says "yeah, I want to go to Cincinnati," and then he ends up in Miami... you're saying that's NOT awkward? Do we have different definitions of the word "awkward" or do you sincerely believe that it's water under the bridge for Miami fans knowing their QB said he wanted to play somewhere else?

Are you new to sports? Nobody cares if he said he wanted to play somewhere, especially if its because that team happened to be picking #1. None of what he's saying is typical or normal of first overall picks or the like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Burrow will go to Cinci and be a good little boy about it. But what he’s saying is not typical of the consensus #1 overall pick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only example we have of a #1 pick going into specifics of what team he does or doesn't want to play for is Eli and San Diego, and all you had to do was watch that painfully awkward situation play out to realize NOBODY wanted to be there at that moment. If this isn't awkward to you, then you don't understand what awkward is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 ET, I think there’s some confusion as to what’s being discussed. I think Nostr is arguing that no team will care if player X says “it’d be swell to play for team Y.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a long way between now and the draft? What's out there that's so different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the question is basically "Bengals fans are sad inside will you give them a hug" and he said "hang tight let's see what happens".

I guess I didn't interpret it as such. I see it as typical media jabber, saying nothing while using a bunch of words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 To be fair, while Joe was Mr. Ohio in high school, he really grew up in Nebraska, so these Ohio ties are largely overblown too in a lot of ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to play in Nebraska iirc. Just like his dad did, but there’s no way he could say no to OSU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjapirate Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I agree with @ET80 why would Burrow sing the praises of a team that hasnt drafted him yet? I mean we see all draft prospects pretty much always say i'll be happy with being drafted by anybody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) What leverage does Burrow THINK he has? Curious? Is he going to sit out a year? Going to publically say, I'm not signing with Cincy no matter what? So you better not draft me? What makes him or anyone else think the Bengals and the Brown Family in particular wouldn't just draft him out of Spite to call his BS/bluff? Then all you've accomplished is alienating your fan base!! Even if he intentionally (Not happening INO) Tanked his Combine in Hope's of Dropping to Miami , LAC or Another. Really think that would change the Bengals FO mind? Edited February 19, 2020 by Nabbs4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
