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.

There's been 25 QBs taken #1 overall. 19 of those started game 1 of their rookie season...

I can admit when I am wrong and in this case I was.  Beside that, the list of 25 drafted in the Superbowl era looks overall Bad for the most part.

Here is a prime Example of what I am talking about in my original post.

On this play, the offense can't get anything going, numerous three and outs, Lawrence gets frustrated and takes off. He is a competitor and will take the hit for the hard yards. The Problem is, he can't play a full season taking hits like this. In fact, Watch this video around the 4 second mark. Lawrence becomes a 1/4 second of a defender smashing right into his knee. This could of been game or career over. Watch this and you decide
