Is enough to work with
Then add Ja'Marr Chase


Replace Joe Burrow with any top 15 QB in the given season, they too can get the Bengals to a SB in 2021/2022 + an AFC Championship game in 2022/2023.

Mahomes, Lamar, and Josh Allen are the only quarterbacks who can actually improve the players around them.
Other QBs need help, they don't.

Don't forget the defense.

2021
they weren't special but:
forced 2 turnovers vs Raiders in WC.
they won the divisional playoff game vs Titans, gave up 16 points and forced 3 turnovers.
held KC to 3 points 2nd half after giving up 21 first half, picked off Mahomes twice.
2 ints vs Stafford in the SB.

2022
6th best defense in terms of ppg.
Game winning fumble TD in wildcard vs Ravens.
Held Josh Allen's Bills to 10 points.

You still have to deliver to those weapons though and he did it with a mediocre at offensive line (which is how he got hurt). Like I said it's too early to say he is the MOST overrated. This season will show if he is for real or just a fluke.


Half the league has a mediocre offensive line
Not the most overrated. To me it's Cousins.

I been saying this - Their defense and special teams during the playoff run was damn near elite.

Casual football fans actually knew the Bengals rookie Kicker"Evan McPherson"
He even had special SB segments during the broadcast

Y’all are now just throwing names out there for the he’ll of it.

Cousins has never been highly regarded like that and people have literally brought up his record in national televised games to clown him.

A lot of top QB lists prior to this year have Cousins as a top 8-10 QB the past few years even with his shytty playoff performance. Hell the Falcons paid him a shytload of money off the strength of his name.

What rankings are that because NFL.com has had him ranked as a middle tier QB these past few years, which is where he should be.

The Falcons paid him that bread mainly because that’s what the going rate is for decent QBs. Even then, they can easily pull plug on it next season by benching him.

Let’s not have revisionist history about what happened last season. There was a reason why the Vikings GM made it publicly clear that he didn’t care to do an extension with him.

It’s basically Mahomes by a mile over everyone else. The “burrowhead” hype was 3yrs ago. In the span that ppl were saying burrow “owns” arrowhead, Mahomes has won two more superbowls. This goes to show you how quickly they want to cast the pure white QB in the Brady heir apparent role. This season can be the season for burrow to remind ppl. But, I think that ppl aren’t going to be as lenient. The goodwill is running out with Mahomes wining his 3rd ring in 5yrs. Ppl are tired of hearing the fluff from other QBs, when Mahomes keeps winning every winter.
