VanS Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 4 hours ago, BleedTheClock said: It will be hard for the Bengals to make the Super Bowl with that bust at QB, amirite? Not really. Just 3 years ago, three of the four starters in the AFC and NFC Championship Games were Blake Bortles, Case Keenum, and Nick Foles. Great teams make it to the Super Bowl. I like the Bengals to make a leap this year like the 2019 49ers did when they went from 4-12 and the 2nd overall pick two years ago to the Super Bowl last year. In my opinion the Bengals roster has underachieved the last 2 years. They have significantly more talent on that roster than their record has shown. In 2020 they course correct and finally start playing up to their overall talent level. Also there has been a history in recent years of top draft pick QBs having pretty good rookie seasons before the NFL figures them out. Baker Mayfield looked great as a rookie in 2018. Marcus Mariota looked his best as a rookie in 2015. And we all remember RG3 as a first year player setting the world on fire in 2012. I don't know if Joe Burrow will have a great rookie season. I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me if he did given that its not uncommon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riftty Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 The fact that so many people can honestly pick 49ers with a straight face is laughable. They're trash. Wont even win 5 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philadelphia does not win that Super Bowl if Nick Foles did not blow up in the playoffs. I do agree Cincinnati is more talented than their record indicated, but a rookie QB has never started in a Super Bowl and Cincinnati isn't good enough to take one to the Super Bowl.

SBLII seemed to be their destined year....They were hosting the game at their stadium, and all they had to do was qualify....Do you think the pressure was too much or were the Eagles just that much better?....
