I believe the Cinci fans are questioning that $240+ million after that fine performance today!

They started 0-2 last year, and went to the AFC Championship. They don't play any starters in preseason, that's what's wrong. They will be fine! Who Dey!!!
Do you fools realize this was just one game?? Joe has tore it up for 3 straight years.
Anyone watching D. Jones from the Giants? 40 mil a year for that?
Some QBs should have took a few snaps in the Preseason
I find it odd that fans and/or sports pundits care more about an athletes salary instead of winning games/championships. Different times I guess. Also....whodey!
Better than week 1, 222yds 2-1. 0-2 but should win the next 3?
As for Sam Howell 299yds 2-0. For $1M.
Take a look at the Jets and Rogers, big salaries, big expectations and a 4 play season
At least Burrows, Rodgers and a couple of others with big salaries have been to or won a Super Bowl, some conference title games and some playoff wins. Most contracts are paying them for what they did. Guys like Herbert(who I think is an amazing QB), Allen, Dak, Cousins, Carr, and Jackson haven't sniffed a Super Bowl.
I think the Herbert contract is OK given he's the type of QB that can probably make chicken salad out of chicken sh7t. They'll probably lose Ekeler and K Allen next year, and maybe M Williams the following year but they drafted a bunch of WRs the past few years and have Josh Kelley.
The albatrosses are Russ Wilson, Kyler Murray and D Watson. I would put the D. Jones contract up there but not quite a total disaster, and the Burrows contract as one that is definitely a win-now type deal. In 3-4 years the Bengals are going to be in either cap-hell or be mediocre enough to not effectively reload through the draft. My Redskins are all too familiar with garbage contracts so hopefully with Danny boy gone we can finally build a championship team.
Is the week 4 hysteria still too soon? JB is #34 out of 36 qualifying QB's in rating, behind future hall of famers Zach Wilson, Desmond Ridder and Ryan Tannehill.
$55M/year for 1-3 and 2 touchdowns? If it's a nagging injury is it really doing any good keeping him in there, or do you get his body 100% and then hope for a mid-season run?
He sucks. Nobody should look that bad with the offense he has around him. Just completely incapable of accomplishing a successful football play currently. Until he improves, you have to start assuming that this is just what he is.
If this was true, how do you explain the last 2 seasons. It is clear the calf is worse then they are letting on, it isn't just affecting his mobility, it is affecting his passing. He has absolutely no "zip" to his passes. I mean look at the past 2 seasons, he was one of the most, if not the most accurate passers in the game. Now that they are 1-3 their best bet is to sit him for an extended period of time, and let AJ McCarron get the start. Perhaps they can get something going with him, he can get the team into the playoffs with hopes that Burrow is 100% by then.
