Even under a rookie deal, the #1 overall pick makes some pretty serious money. Nothing like the second contract, but SERIOUS money. (At least to people with “little jobs”.....thank you Sammy! That never gets old.)

T master Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Falcons old QB Bartkowski told Burrows he should make a power play & use his history to tell the NFL where he wants to go rather than go to a bad team in rebuild mode because it could do him more harm than good . Says he should pull a Eli !! https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/college/article240375566.html

And I thought them all at 1 point Edited February 20, 2020 by Buffalo716
billsherd Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 So if the player doesn't want to play for a certain team, player can seat out the year and make himself available for the draft again?

If he does that he’ll be 25 at the end of his first year and 30 at the end of his first contract if he’s good. He isn’t a 21 year old he’d be prudent to start his career right away to try squeezing two big contracts out before he’s done He can do what another QB has done let team know he will not play for them and let them choose to trade pick or pick him and trade him like was done with Eli Manning.
Bookie Man Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Burrow reminds me a little bit of Carson Palmer. I think Burrow might be a better prospect.

Buffalo716 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Just now, Julio Hopkins said: NFL Comparison Kurt Warner Yea comparing any rookie prospect to a HoFr is totally off base And his grade doesn't even reflect that. I'm pretty sure Warner would be 8.0 perfect prospect or atleast 7.4 perennial all pro Burrow reminds me of a more athletic Matt Ryan with less arm strength. Comparing any prospect to a HoFr is ridiculous, unless it's a John Elway prospect Which he isnt

Comparing any prospect to a HoFr is ridiculous, unless it's a John Elway prospect Which he isnt I hate making comparisons, but the guy you're using as a scouting report is comparing him to Kurt Warner. I disagree with those weaknesses, I also disagree with you saying Burrow isn't a John Elway prospect.

I'm sorry but he was the oldest guy on the field every time last year. He should look good And i just posted it because Zeirlein posted it on NFL As for being a Generational type prospect he most certainly isn't. Guys like Luck and Elway dominated within their first two years. Luck was a stud as a freshman, that shows his potential.. Elway was known for the ELWAY CROSS as a freshman Burrow took 5 years. He is good but not on that level

"[The Bengals] have their process and I have my process. We haven't even gotten to the [NFL] combine yet. There's a lot of things that happen leading up to the draft and a lot of information gathered." I Could be wrong, but I actually think this is totally false— as in he never said “I have leverage.” try to find an interview with him saying it. I could be wrong, but I read the Fort Worth articles on this and watched the embedded video interview of him, and he never says “I have leverage.” Plus the writer is a huge Bengals hater (bitter former Bengals fan), and is trying to get Burrow to boycott the Bengals, so has a clear agenda. check out the interview in this article: https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/college/article240375566.html and this article: https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/mac-engel/article240363256.html 1

Warner certainly was not all pro when he was brought in as backup (or was it backup to backup?) from grocery stocking.

On 2/18/2020 at 8:02 PM, Hapless Bills Fan said: Of course it's possible, but if the whole family is blinded by $ signs wouldn't that include Burrows? Absent evidence to the contrary, it always seems easier to me to assume that people pretty much say what they mean, and mean what they say. Assuming that someone is lying through their teeth, absent some kind of evidence, is like hearing hoofbeats and thinking of Zebras. As I note above, I think this may be false reporting. I can’t find him actually saying “I have leverage.”

Well Warner was an UDFA so I don't think he's implying Burrows should be undrafted He's comparing him to the HoF

I don’t mind grammar mistakes, hell I’m plenty guilty of that. But the getting a guys name wrong thing really grinds my gears for some reason.
