The point critics most often make is that he's a one year starter too.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 1:04 pmDoes anyone honestly think that Joe Burrow is another Akili Smith? If so can anyone point out why?

Re: Bengals Related News & Notes
Yes I get that but we have to go back to the history of his college career. He was slotted to start after Barrett at OSU before a hand injury, then because he couldn't participate in spring that season he ended up sitting behind a very good QB in Haskins. Now if you look at his work towards the end of 2018 season you start to see where the lights turn on and then the Bowl game was just an absolute shootout. He started to click in 2018 honestly.Bengals1 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 6:28 pmThe point critics most often make is that he's a one year starter too.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 1:04 pmDoes anyone honestly think that Joe Burrow is another Akili Smith?

Re: Bengals Related News & Notes
i am not comparing him to Akili Smith... quite the opposite actually.. . my point was Mikey did not accept an offer for someone like Akili Smith... hence there is no way in hell he's going to accept anything for Joe Burrow.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 1:04 pmDoes anyone honestly think that Joe Burrow is another Akili Smith?

Re: Bengals Related News & Notes
I certainly 100% agree with you and I think all this smoke Tobin is blowing doesn't change my mind either. Also from what I've read from the Senior Bowl and Herbert's performance it only solidifies my thought. If Herbert is as good as they were saying why would Miami want to jump up a few spots when they could keep their picks and still get a very very good QB.orange_black wrote: ↑Mon Jan 27, 2020 2:20 pmi am not comparing him to Akili Smith... quite the opposite actually.. . my point was Mikey did not accept an offer for someone like Akili Smith... hence there is no way in hell he's going to accept anything for Joe Burrow.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 1:04 pmDoes anyone honestly think that Joe Burrow is another Akili Smith?

Burrow started 2 full years for LSU. He had a solid first season with the tigers, but nothing spectacular. Was graded as a day 2 prospect.Bengals1 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 6:28 pmThe point critics most often make is that he's a one year starter too.MeatHeadbengal wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 1:04 pmDoes anyone honestly think that Joe Burrow is another Akili Smith?

Nothing like Akili. Joe played in a pro system, coached by an NFL coach, and he not only beat, but destroyed, the best defenses in college football. He has elite pocket presence, elite accuracy, and was given leeway to call and change plays pre snap. Akili did none of that.
Re: Bengals Related News & Notes
You are correct. The term the critics use is one year wonder not one year starter.

Alex Van Pelt leaving the QB coach job and headed to CLE as their OC. Yet another sign of impending change at our QB position. Alex and Andy were pretty tight.

looks like asst QB coach Dan Pitcher will be promoted
Re: Bengals Related News & Notes
Only Cle would promote a guy after the job performance he displayed the last two years. Just when you think the Bengals are the worse organization in the NFL the Browns find a way to one up them.stripesincarolina wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 11:22 pmAlex Van Pelt leaving the QB coach job and headed to CLE as their OC.
