Joe Burrow should think twice about accepting fate in Cincy — Whitlock

I moved to Cinci from SWLA about 30 years ago and witnessed the shipwreck of the HMS Bungle first hand. This "team" is one of the perennial cluster-fcks in the NFL....because of Mike Brown, a fitting bookend for the equally bad Cleveland Browns. He continues to draft players and free agents who are distractions and/or have discipline issues and expects coaches to deal with it. He also can destroy a person's will. Marvin Lewis arrived with fire in his belly and within two years he looked and sounded like a PW'ed boy friend.

Brown is cheap beyond compare and I don't see him buying the O-line talent needed for Burrow to succeed. I was in line waiting for a taxi at JFK a few years ago...and the guy in front of me was none other than Mike Brown. Net worth of nearly $2 billion and too cheap to pay a limo says something. The Bungles are projected to have over $52 million in cap space in 2020 but I don't expect them to make a splash in the free agent pool.

I feel for Burrow. If he can succeed in Cinci he is an even better QB the guy is a true miracle worker.
