    NFL (at least the QB position) is becoming like baseball. It used to be the QBs will come in n suck for couple of years before they get better. Nowadays they come in blazing hot and start sucking. Just like in baseball, rookies would come in hot, then they figure 'em out.

    TWICE? Dude had wide open lanes all game long and threw the ball up, he has no pocket presence or very poor pocket awareness at all.

    You are not going to win with CJ - nothing significant - he just doesn't have it, the dude is a dud.....you need to build a ****ING wall around him to give him the time he needs and he has to CHECK down......all the time, half the sacks are him simply holding the ball too damned long.

    And don't give me the BULLSHIT that he audibles, they are so slow getting to the line there is rarely any audible - how many flags do they get with him not getting the team to the line and ready to go?

    Turns out the tests they took that said he wasn't a fast thinker were 100% accurate....

    We need an upgrade. Someone with some FIRE to lead the charge....CJ ain't it.

    I hope yall realize that the burrow thing is a pipe dream…

    we could send CJ and 4 1sts for burrow and Cincinnati still won’t trade him.

    Let’s be real here, we need to hope for a bounce back year from CJ.
