The Cincinnati Bengals haven’t had the season they hoped for.
They’re sitting on a 4-5 document, and even with a win on Thursday, being round .500 isn’t what you’d count on from a group of this caliber.
Nobody can blame Joe Burrow for his group’s season.
By most requirements, he’s been top-of-the-line quarterbacks within the league, however his protection and training have constantly let him down.
No matter his numbers, Chris Canty believes he can’t be within the MVP dialog except he takes his group to the playoffs.
On ESPN Radio’s “UNSPORTSMANLIKE,” the previous NFL participant in contrast him to Lamar Jackson, stating that the Baltimore Ravens’ protection isn’t nice, but Jackson is main them by means of thick and skinny.
“If this group does not make the playoffs, no person’s going to present him an MVP.”
This is smart.
The NFL isn’t like MLB, the place gamers can get MVPs regardless of not making the playoffs due to their performances.
Additionally, it’s not like there’s a scarcity of potential MVP candidates.
Burrow’s numbers are, by all means, MVP-worthy.
He’s accomplished north of 70% of his passes for two,244 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions.
Then once more, that doesn’t imply something when the group isn’t getting the job executed.
We’ve seen the Bengals begin the season slowly after which get sizzling on the proper time repeatedly, a pattern that has been an everyday a part of Zac Taylor’s tenure.
A win in opposition to a divisional rival in primetime may shift the sentiment again of their favor, and that will likely be a must-watch matchup.
