Rashod Bateman, Brandin Cooks, DRob, Andrews, Dobbins would be enough to end this discussion.

I’ll settle for Rashod Bateman, DJ Chark (FA next year), Corey Davis (potential salary cut), Duvernay, and DRob.

Of course, this would be pointless if we kept GRo and a fullback outsnaps all of them.

Honestly Burrow is better than Lamar. I don't think there is anything wrong with saying that. Their not lightyears apart, but I'd take Burrow and a couple other guys before Lamar if I'm starting a team from scratch. Lamar seems to have plateaued, be it injuries, weapons, Roman, etc.. kinda is what it is right now. Cinci is a trash franchise that Burrow brought back to life with a Super Bowl appearance and has them poised to make another run. Lamar was great, suffered some disappointing playoff losses, and now injured in December for the 2nd straight year. This stuff fluctuates, Burrow is the flavor of the month now, Lamar may come back and win a super bowl and everyone will crown him the top QB ya know. I guess I say all that to say it shouldn't shock anyone to see Lamar taking criticism. Much of it is warranted and only gets worse when the rumors start flying about what kind of contract he wants.
He can throw better than Lamar. That is indisputable. Is he a better Qb. Hmmm .Not sure about that.
 
Congratulations on your win yesterday!! It’s great to do that despite a third string QB in there. I hope Huntley is ok
Pittsburgh have been taking an extra cheap hit at the ball carrier after the play is over for as long as Tomlin has been there, because they get away with it as one of the NFL's darlings.

Minkah aside, I didn't think they were as bad for it as usual tonight, so he really stood out as a cheap shot artist.

It's smart I suppose. The Cowboys, Packers, Patriots etc, would all get away with it too, if they made it a policy to try and injure opponents in the same way.
We didn’t do that. Dallas and NE would but not us.

I will not get my hopes up

Lamar is a stellar athlete and one of, if not the most exciting player in the league. Fact is though he’s just not on the same level as a passer as the top QBs, and that doesn’t have anything to do with the WRs he’s throwing to.

Is Burrow better? As has been alluded to it’s situationally dependent. They are 2 different guys that do different things well and at certain times either could be the best.

It’s crazy how much Bengal fans worship Burrow and how much Ravens fans criticize Lamar. Insane

Shocker. It’s almost like one was one drive away from a SB win and the other barely has a playoff win

I would like to see a Lamar offense with Ja’marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, and Joe Mixon before I come to a decision on who’s better.
I would like to see myself investing significant money in Amazon at $18 in 1997 and selling in 2019 at $1,755. I imagine I’d have a yacht and various Russian hookers sailing the Med together. Unfortunately I was 10, and all i had to my name was some Pokémon cards. Fucking legend

Heres a quote from Chicoman in Steelers forum: As for the Steelers Defense today they had no answers and John Harbaugh completely outcoached Mike Tomlin and Teryl Austin in this game. On their 2nd drive the Rats started to use their FB Ricard in motion to the left or right matching him up on Highsmith or Watt and taking one of them out of the play.....preventing backside pursuit running away from him or running it right at them behind the blocking of Ricard. The Rats continued to use Ricard as the lead blocker even more effectively up the middle getting blocks on Myles Jack & Devin Bush on 2 consecutive plays as the Rats scored an easy TD to go up 10-0 first quarter. Tomlin and the Steelers had no solution for Ricard who was a GameWrecker today and we saw it on the Rats final drive of the game as they continued to use Ricard as the lead blocker and Tomlin & Austin has no answer to stop him.

So No one has talked about how well Ricard played but this guy did!
Everyone here hates ricard and wants to see wrs who wouldn’t make 31 other nfl rosters get his snaps instead.

I mean I ain’t mad at that perspective… it’s a fucking FB y’all… but yeah lol

Pokémon cards coming back. Should’ve graded those 1st edition charizards instead of playing with em. Stay broke noob! No hookers for you!
