No.... the OP is stirring shite but if you believe him, then that's your right. Because at this point Tua is second fiddle to Fitzpatrick.

I’ve always liked Allen as well. You never know how guys will translate to the NFL

Yes. Cincy should trade Burrow to a team looking for a QB, like New England. Would be best for all parties IMO.


I’d take him right now for the Saints. Supposedly Sean Payton would have given up multiple firsts and Michael Thomas for him before the draft. Another 15 years of a Brees like run, yes please....

His play frustrates me to no end as Jaguars fan knowing we drafted him and moved on after a year while parading a train of bums at the qb position since.
I’ve always thought that Allen had elite tools. He’s not some bum like Ryan Finley or half of the backups you see in the NFL. Also, he developed slowly but steadily at Arkansas. It wouldn’t shock me if he was a late bloomer in the NFL and turned into a starter somewhere.

The Bengals "shitty supporting cast" is widely overblown. Boyd, Higgins, and Green is a damn good WR trio. PFF also had the Bengals receiving corps graded as the 11th best receiving corps in the NFL coming into the season. Burrow always had plenty of weapons to work with.

So, Allen in his fifth year in the NFL looks better than Burrow the rookie but wasn't named starter over the rookie ?

Stupid. Don't be stupid.

Every QB in the NFL worth his salt is more or less a “system QB.” Just look at Brees and Brady.

That’s one way to guarantee 5 more rings in New England.

AJ Green took his head out of his arse for the last 2 games.

Nothing kills an offense like a so-called #1 WR who had the 4th worst catch rate in the NFL until last week.

Total dogshit

Why you guys gotta troll?

So, if your analogy is correct and Allen is better than burrow, then he is also better than Tua, Hurts, Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence, etc.

Green was a drive-killer for his first 12 games of 2020.

In Green's first 12 games, Green had numerous drops & low-effort plays. Green's catch rate was 43%. I've seen 'tackle-eligibles' with better routes and hands.

In his last 2 games, Green's catch rate was 80%... 80% is a good, but not great, catch rate for a #1 NFL WR.

43% would rank 201 of 202 among NFL receivers. Green's 80% over the last 2 games moved him up to 47.3% - 199th out of 202 receivers.

Amazing to see how many people are still butt hurt over the arse-whuppin' Joe B and the Tigers gave them last year. Get over it already!

Allen is 28 years old. Is stupid a Georgia exclusive ? Do you wander around in public on purpose ?

Yes Burrow sucks I think that Cincy should trade him to another team for cheap. How about the Saints? They’re dumb and desperate for a QB solution after Brees is gone hahaha

Allen was always underrated at Arky. Dude got the crap beat out of him vs Bama in 14 or 15 and kept getting up. Respect.

For years the Bengals had a veteran line and then the 2015 draft was supposed to give the Bengals Tackles for the next ten years.

Too bad Cedric Ogbuehi and Jake Fisher crapped the bed in Cincy. Then throw in Billy Price who was supposed to be the keystone of the new line.

Truly would LOVE the Bengals to let Joe go then.

I mean, it's a "no brainer", right?
