Joe Burrow Says The Bengals' Super Bowl Window Is His Whole Career. Doubt Him At Your Own Peril

I find it funny that all any haters of Joe Burrow can muster is that he's "cringy" or "corny". Like, what fucking planet do you live on? I don't know if you could build a more likable athlete in a lab. This dude sees the field better than maybe anyone not named Rodgers or Brady. He's the best period quarterback period in the league period other than guys named Mahomes and Allen (when it comes to the latter guy, that's debatable to be honest).

Aaaaaand from time to time, he gets up to the podium, spits hot fire, and does nothing but go on the gridiron and back it the fuck up.

Remember what happened when the Bengals started 0-2?

Or how about how cool and composed he stayed when his go-to guy Ja'Marr Chase was out for about a month?

Now he's up there today — fresh off getting screwed by some weird AFC playoff scenarios, but still winning — already talking about how Cincinnati can expect to contend for the Super Bowl annually as long as he's wearing No. 9 for this franchise. What a badass.

For Joe Burrow, it's like he's had to grind so hard at every significant phase of his career to separate himself from his peers that he's gotten to the point where he just knows he's gonna beat you, or at least come damn close almost every single time. Ask the Chiefs how they feel about the past three matchups against Joe Shiesty. They can't beat him. See if anyone around the league wants any part of this Burrow-led Bengals team in the playoffs.

Fresh off back-to-back AFC North titles, Cincinnati is about to host the division rival Ravens on Wild Card Weekend, with Lamar Jackson's status up in the air. What else is new? Seems like status quo out of Baltimore for the entire year considering Lamar's unresolved contract situation.

I know it may come across as disrespectful to the rest of the division and the AFC at large for Joe Brrr to have the audacity to say he'll be in the mix for the Lombardi Trophy every single year. 

But think about it. The Ravens might not even have Lamar Jackson after this year. Pittsburgh beat a whole bunch of nothingburger opponents down the stretch, and their franchise QB hopeful Kenny Pickett, I've said since the draft, has the ceiling to be 85% of Joe Burrow. So good luck with that. And then you have the karmic/moral shitstorm that is the Cleveland Browns, who've hitched their wagons to a disgraced, super rusty signal-caller in Deshaun Watson.

That leaves the obvious powerhouses: Buffalo and Kansas City. Well see, Josh Allen has regressed since Brian Daboll's departure, and Burrow and the Bengals have the Chiefs' number. I'm not delusional enough to believe KC will NEVER beat Cincinnati. It'll happen on the big stage at some time or another. What I'm getting at here more so is how outrageously STUPID everyone was to say the Bengals' Super Bowl run was a fluke.

Until Joey B says something totally outlandish and out of turn that has no chance of coming true, I'm just gonna keep believing him and keep believing in him and this team. What's it now, 21-3 ATS in the last 24? Two more wins than last regular season in one less official game?

Oh but here comes the "THE BENGALS WON'T BE ABLE TO PAY EVERYYYYONNEEEEEE" cavalry. Please get back to me after they sign Tee Higgins, Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase to extensions in the next two-year window. You know, when they're still contending for Super Bowls. I'll be here to laugh at you morons then, too.
