I don't know where they stand cap-wise, but they are a near mirror image of us as far as building process, and I'd give a slight edge to Burrow over TLaw as the QB I'd hitch my wagon to if given the choice.

The only difference might be whether you'd prefer to work under Shad or Mike Brown.

Cut him some slack, we can't ALL be the funniest poster on the board.

You don't think the the Brown family and how tight they are with money would be a bigger red flag to any GM/HC? Shad will give any coach/GM the money, facilities, and resources the want. 

Plus for as good a player Burrow is, he has way more ego and refuses to let their offensive system use more play action or easier concepts that would make them more consistent. Meaning he could easily clash with an incoming HC/OC more than Trevor probably would. And once Tee Higgins leaves, he has only 1 reliable receiving option. They also have fewer building blocks on defense.

Like I said, if you have confidence that Brown will pay the guys you think fit your system and doesn't shaft you for the sake of 'profit' (everyone has to spend to the cap, not like MLB and moneyball shenanigans), there's very little difference between the builds - we both have franchise QB, we both need OL built, need Defense built, have 1 key WR, the list goes on.

I don't see this ego (source?), but on a team with no line, PA is rarely an option unless you want to get sacked. Neither of us are running the ball with authority, which is kinda a prerequisite to making the fake handoff an effective distraction. I hear TLaw calling plenty of kills at the line, maybe he's just as unwilling to run the plays as they're called. All I know is that if you look at it as Joe v. Trevor, Joe's consistently putting up better yards regardless of the rest of the offensive and defensive woes. Joe's bigger detriment might be injury history, but we're starting to see the toll taken our QB as well.
