And this bogus "oh what if he gets hurt" crap that some people bring up is a cop out excuse. It's football.. Sometimes players get hurt, it's the nature of the game. Of course we don't want it to happen, but you can't use that as a reason to handicap the kid and coddle him. I mean Bridgewater pretzel'd his knee in a non contact practice.. Should we not let Lawrence practice either because there's a possible risk he could get hurt there also?

You play the kid and don't look back. Otherwise, why did you take him #1..

Short Sited! Just because you take him 1st overall does not mean you have to play him day 1.  Most #1 QB's ever taken started their career on the bench.  I guarantee you that the Bengales wish they would of reconsidered their decisions.  They had Burrow passing a lot in that offense with a bad team.  He didn't last very long in the season.   Meyer has made his decisions and Trevor is going to start the season.   Lets hope the running game really catches fire or we could be in the same situation the Bengals are in.  Lawerence got beaten up really bad in a preseason game where everybody is not playing 100%.   We better hope that is not a prelude of this season.

Meyer and his staff are mostly to blame for this situation.  They bring back the same mediocre Line and expect them to automatically be better.
