Thread: Joe Burrow wants to play for team focused on winning

Former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, in the mix to be drafted No. 1 overall by the Cincinnati Bengals, said going to a franchise that's committed to winning is as important as having the distinction of being the top pick.

"You want to go No. 1, but you also want to go to a great organization that's committed to winning Super Bowls," Burrow said in an interview Friday morning on "The Dan Patrick Show."

That comment, in response to a question from Patrick, arrives on the heels of former Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer's statements earlier this week.

"That's why I wanted out," Palmer, the Bengals' top overall pick in the 2003 draft, told CBS Sports Radio. "I never felt like the organization was really trying to win a Super Bowl and really chasing a Super Bowl."

So then Cincy would be a NO lol.

If he's that good, he'll make the Bengals better.

I dont think he is worried about himself more so what the organization will do try and help him.

I agree. But, I have been told an elite QB can overcome a bad team, and make them better.

Oh sure, an elite QB can do some things but in the end they will always need help. As good as Elway or Manning are both needed surrounding talent to get a SB ring.

Wht if he pulls an Eli or an Elway

Certainly possible.
