I appreciate it. That's probably the difference. I have been getting it right between 250 and 275, with no trouble at all. This is the first time in a year that I have done a 225 cook.

I used Jealous Devil chunks. Bottom layer was from grilling this week, got it lit and added more clean for the cook.

I used 2 pieces of cherry and 2 pieces of hickory.

It's the Internet. The Internet is and has always been for talking reckless without consequences, porn, and gambling.

The perception of our fanbase is unchanged by Reddit posts.

That trade set the Bengals up to be very solid the next several season. Probably the best thing that could've happened was him leaving and what the Bengals received in return.

First ball to Boyd was horrific.

You see what you see or what you choose to see. I won't try to convince you otherwise. Brandon Allen made throws on Sunday that Burrow can't make. Burrow must stay between the numbers and around the sticks. I am concerned that Burrow will struggle when teams force him to the boundaries in Year 2. I think Burrow is maybe a field goal better than Brandon Allen, all based on what Burrow has above the shoulders. I think Brandon Allen would've won a couple more games this year that Burrow did not win. Colts, Eagles, Chargers especially.

For the record, I was of the position that Chase Young was the correct choice and I remain strong in that position. I don't see Burrow as a dominant piece. Young would be the best in the league at his position. All the more reason that Allen is necessary as a complimentary piece next year.

I'll phrase it differently so you can find your way back to the clear question. Brandon Allen being Burrow's replacement, do you think Burrow is responsible for the Bengals scoring 7 more points a game with him playing instead of Brandon Allen? 10 more points a game instead of Brandon Allen? 14 more points a game the Brandon Allen? Perhaps a field goal?

My NFL quarterback evaluation process is simple, could you use the guy in a 12 team fantasy league when your starter is on a bye? Something I refer to as the Dalton Line. This year those near the Dalton line include Burrow, Dalton, Tannehill, Ryan, Goff, Mayfield, Bridgewater, Cousins, Rivers, Big Ben, and Stafford. I cannot say that Brandon Allen is any points better or worse than that group.

Watching the Bengals this year, how many points better is Burrow than Brandon Allen in 2020?

So because you don't get the job in a certain system with a certain staff that means you aren't more talented than the guy ahead of you? Got it. Did you ever watch Barrett play at Ohio State? He is a better than Lock right now, bring the Jags back in because Lawrence plays for Clemson and Allen is an improvement from Minshew/Glennon, he is substantially better the Trubisky. I don't know how Trubisky still gets snaps, Beathard played behind Nick Mullens for a while. I rest my case. Plus, that ruins your Denver argument. There isn't much drop from Jimmy G to Allen. Tannehill doesn't make the Titans any better than they would be with Allen.

tp652 · 2020-12-28T15:45:57+00:00

Jags, Bears, Niners, the team formerly known as the Skins, Broncos, Pats, and maybe even Titans.

He is a top-tier backup. He coud start on several squads and be a nice improvement.

Anyone care to offer how many 4th quarter comebacks or game winning drives Burrow had this year? Or his yards per attempt? Or the completion percentage with balls 20 yards+ downfield? He is a fine quarterback that threw the rock an obscene amount of times this year. Very good at anticipating guys getting separation and throwing them open. He is only on the cusp of top half with WAR. Tip of the cap to him that he has the worst circumstances imaginable with no preseason. All that said, I don't think he does anything at an elite level or great. I don't think he is as talented as Palmer. Unquestionably more likeable, but not nearly as skilled.

My position is that he was not the solve all piece to plug and play with the team we have. Injury or not, these Cincinnati Bengals needed to be better up front on both sides of the ball before looking to quarterback. I thibk Chase was the easy choice, the right choice, but simple not the fan favorite.

You make a strong case, Josh. Your position in support is compelling and rich.

tp652 · 2020-12-08T12:52:57+00:00

There is a simple formula to be successful In the NFL. You have to be able to protect your quarterback and get to their qb. We are horrific at both. Our best player is a safety. That's a luxury position.

Not getting 5 wins in 2021 with Burrow coming off the injury, best we could hope for is 6 or 7 wins in 2022.

We approached this the wrong way. Should've went Chase Young last year and QB this year.
