Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals commented on his rivals Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Browns during a podcast. In doing so, he praised both quarterbacks and can understand the situations in each.

Munich – Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals can understand the complicated quarterback situation with the AFC North rival.

When the Bengals playmaker was asked on the “Full Send Podcast” what he thought about the trade of Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns, the 25-year-old replied: “When you have a guy like Deshaun, you have to take a chance and sign him. Simply because he’s an outstanding player. “

Baker Mayfield the sufferer

Burrow, then, defended the Browns signing Watson despite the ongoing court case against him.

Suffering person in the whole story: Baker Mayfield, who is now only number two in Cleveland behind Watson. Because of that, the 2018 No. 1 overall pick has also yet to participate in the Browns’ voluntary workouts.

Joe Burrow: “Baker is getting back on his feet “

However, even a trade seems unlikely at this point, with not a single team interested in Mayfield. But at least Burrow is confident: “It’s a difficult situation for him, but Baker is a really good player, he’ll get back on his feet. “

The praise doesn’t come from anywhere, after all Mayfield had always delivered against Burrow and the Bengals. “He was hurt for a long time, but every time I play him, he rocks the thing,” Burrow said of Mayfield.

Bengals connoisseur Mayfield in lurking position

The 27-year-old has a record of three wins and no losses against Burrow. Against the Bengals as a whole, he has won a full six times with just one loss.

Nonetheless, the Week 8 duel in Cleveland and the Week 14 duel in Cincinnati between the Browns and Bengals will likely be between Watson and Burrow. Assuming, of course, that Watson is not fined by the NFL – otherwise Bengals maven Mayfield would certainly be on hand.
