The Cincinnati Bengals are taking same approach with Joe Burrow that LSU took

Former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow will be the Cincinnati Bengals’ starting quarterback in 2020.
The Cincinnati Bengals were wise to select Joe Burrow with the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft (instead of trading the pick for stockpile of future draft picks).
Burrow has the talent and the confidence to lead Cincinnati out of the abyss (the Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since 1990).
But simply selecting the right quarterback is only the beginning. Just having Burrow on the roster won’t help the Bengals if they don’t use him correctly. We’ve seen plenty of NFL teams squander talent over the years.
