The discussion surrounding Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals has taken some interesting twists and turns lately.
And now Hue Jackson has weighed in on the matter.
The former member of the Browns and Bengals showed up on the Pat McAfee Show and talked about Burrow and the Bengals:
“You have to take the swing when it’s there. And he’s sitting there. The guy had a phenomenal season…he played as well as any quarterback that’s entering the draft in a long time. I think they still have a pretty veteran team, but if you don’t have that guy under center, it’s going to be hard for you to win any games.”
The big one Bengals fans will want to see: “He’s going to change the landscape of the Cincinnati Bengals, in my opinion.”
That’s a much more optimistic slant than Bengals fans have heard lately, especially with Dan Patrick suggesting he might not think Burrow is thrilled about the idea.
Jackson is speaking from an interesting place considering he was with the Bengals and Andy Dalton for some time before going to Cleveland, just in time for the Browns to use the No. 1 pick on Baker Mayfield. He later briefly returned to the Bengals alongside Marvin Lewis.
Normally a polarizing figure, Bengals fans will have a hard time finding fault with Jackson’s thoughts here.
