I suddenly realize that the Rams are a bad matchup for the Bengals given what happened against the Titans. They need to find a way to protect him better because that Rams DL is going to eat him alive. And I don’t think Stafford is going to pull a Tannehill.

But it still seemed like Mahomes was shy about trying to make a play in the 2nd half, less willing to throw downfield and take a gamble.

The Saints beat the Colts, because the Saints changed their coverage, EVERY QUARTER against Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl.

Herbert’s getting better because of Lombardi and the offensive scheme, and he may eventually be at Burrow’s level next season. But he’s not quite there. Additionally, at the end of the day I think I trust someone like Warner than someone who knows as little about football as you.
I see no processing advantage for Burrow over Herbert (who Warner does not mention by the way) and do not care for the insult to Herbert, who was the better student and had the better Wonderlic score, which involves rapid mental processing. That is not to say that I think Burrow is weak at processing. I think he generally does a good job of that, but so does Herbert, so we do not need to knock our guy as you have.
Burrow and Herbert both improved this year primarily because they gained additional experience. That is the normal growth process for young QBs in general. It is not about the OC as much as it is about the experience being gained.
I do not accept the notion that analyses of former players are necessarily superior to those of anyone else. My belief is that we should consider what the former player is saying, especially since the opinions of former players are all over the map and often contradict one another.
To the extent that Warner believes that Burrow processes better than Herbert, something he does not expressly state in the quoted materials, I disagree with him.

And the reason the Bengals got into the playoffs and have gotten this far, while the Chargers missed the playoffs altogether, is because the Bengals are better-coached. I guarantee it. And I offer as proof the fact the Chargers sent six players to the Pro Bowl (including two players from the supposedly talentless defense) while the Bengals sent half that many. The Chargers' defense was atrocious this season. But the personnel package is not as bad as the defense performed, the defense under-performed because of bad coaching.

At the beginning of the 2021 campaign, Jessie Bates said he was "pissed off" he didn't get a new contract during the offseason.

Burrow has admitted that he has struggled at times with holding the ball too long. The CIN/TEN game certainly confirms that he still struggles with that at times (unless you think it is good mental processing to hold the ball too long and take sacks that put the team out of FG range in one instance and make a FG attempt much more difficult in another). There is no need to take my word for any of that.

So since Herbert has superior physical abilities, we want to automatically give Burrow the mental processing.
Herbert could simply be better to significantly better than Burrow in every trait
minus experience (college and NFL playoffs/bigger games)and that's really not on him.Chargers vs. Everyone

Chiefs Choke: Man...I don't like them but they looked so good yesterday till that Brandon Staley moment at the end of the 1st half. They were getting the ball to start the 2nd. Could have gone in feeling good with the 3 points and momentum..BUT....that was the turning point of the game. Gave the Bengals hope. Deflated themselves. They gave it away.
