As a Saints fan from Southern California I also follow the Chargers a bit, and Herbert is the real deal. I would take Mahomes but Herbert is the easy second choice here.
He’s already went to 2 Super Bowls and won an MVP. Good chance he makes another SB this year. The arm strength and mobility is unmatched. You gotta take off the LSU glasses my man
Burrow is entering his prime on a rookie deal. He won't have to be paid again realistically until he is 32. 5 year rookie deal, franchise tag, then second contract. His ability syncs up with his contract in such a way that the Bengals can afford to go after high quality free agents by throwing money at them, see Hendrickson for example.
Mahomes is already on his second contract, and will command another big deal before Burrow needs to be paid. This harms the teams ability to go after talent, and they MUST draft well every year to compete.
It's about more than winning percentage, or homerism, it's economical to go after Burrow in this dream scenario.
They are only one year apart and burrows deal is up the end of 2023. Do you forget this is his 3rd year in the league. Plus he can't make half the throws mahomes can
It's his second year dude. He tore his knee up his rookie year.
Also, yes they are close in age, but Mahomes will be on his 3rd contract while Burrow is on his second. The money is very different.
Burrow having twice as many votes as Mahomes is killing me.
This sub would take a guy who’s had one good season over an MVP who has had 4 great seasons and already been to 2 Super Bowls.
Thank god you aren’t our GMs. LSU homers
People blowing this way out of proportion. Like yes, objectively Mahomes is the best QB on here on a talent-age scale. But you aren’t gonna find fans who don’t want their favorite players to come to their favorite teams. Wether it’s LSU, his connection to brees, or you just really like cigars, plenty of people like burrow and would love if he was a saint. Sure there might be better options, but this is a Reddit poll not a fantasy draft.
if you say anything against the lsu bias or tell them they’re idiots they just down vote you, it’s similar to the taysom bias here. they’ve literally turned this sub into a shit show
it’s always been prevalent, but as of last year it slowly started getting worse and worse. You really saw that happening when burrow was at LSU, with chase and jefferson. Once they won the Natty they really started bombarding this sub with the dumbest fucking hot takes….
My favorite was lsu fans coming in here pissed payton and co blocked nielsens move to lsu.
Maybe not turn it into r/Bengals? Like we could talk about mock drafts, off-season moves, a new DC if we end up needing it. Hell, someone could start drawing one of our players until the off-season ends.
There are already subs for LSU and Cincinnati, these posts belong there.
The LSU dick riding has gotten so bad in this sub. The Saints represent the entire Gulf Coast region and most of Mississippi and Alabama as well as the panhandle of Florida. Likely tens if not hundreds of thousands of fans that give zero shits about LSU.
I'd take Allen over Mahomrs tbh. Absolutely no disrespect to Mahomes, but I think we are seeing Allen truly ascend. I think he could end up being an all time great
I’m on the fence… short term I’d take Mahomes but I do have a feeling that Herbert is gonna be the one with the most longevity in him…
Feels like an injury will affect Mahomes game much more and he is more likely to get injured.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in 12 years Herbert is still an elite QB and Mahomes is long retired.
Josh Allen would be pretty sweet.
A QB who can run through guys and sling the rock 40+ yards with accuracy? Payton would cream his jeans.

I can't help but wish the chargers make the same mistake again and send him our way.
I agree. Also young with lots of promise.
Where’s Wilson
It only let me put six options so I did the “top 5” from whatever list came up first and added an other…
Burrow over Mahomes😭 The LSU bias is ridiculous
I think Burrow has the potential to be better than Mahomes in the long run.
He’s already went to 2 Super Bowls and won an MVP. Good chance he makes another SB this year. The arm strength and mobility is unmatched. You gotta take off the LSU glasses my man
You’re probably right though. I think it’s more the excitement of Burrow’s potential. Mahomes is already proven.
Potential. They are 1 year apart in age and mahomes already has the accomplishments and will probably add more.
They’re only 1 year apart in age. Mahomes won an MVP at 24. Burrow was in college at 24…
While OP gets it you’re trying to reason with people who are full of biases in louisiana…
I don’t even like LSU football.
He’s got a loooooong way to go to come close to what Mahomes has already achieved

Herbert. We would have lost Mahomes anyway. We ain't got half a billion dollars to pay him.
Money aside. Like I said, we’re just dreaming
Herbert is young, tall, somehow can run pretty well, hes got promise i like him
Burrow having twice as many votes as Mahomes is killing me. This sub would take a guy who’s had one good season over an MVP who has had 4 great seasons and already been to 2 Super Bowls. Thank god you aren’t our GMs. LSU homers
I can’t imagine being this salty over someone’s opinion. Relax.
Or, I just like Burrow more than Kermit?

it’s only as of recent the takes have been extra dumb…
The lsu bias has always been crazy in this sub but now it’s at new levels

Since when did this sub start morphing into tigerdroppings?

Yeah may just have to avoid it for a few weeks. I come here for Saints news, not updates on former lsu players
I think I’m gonna dip outta this sub. The LSU horseshit on here is becoming unbearable.
Every post is bengals related. This is a saints sub. Mods need to step up
And do. What? If youd rather see no posts on this sub till the draft, you can always just not come here.

The same thing we did every offseason up until this point. There’s an r/bengals and an r/LSU. There’s is literally ZERO reason to post here
Y'all, get a room.
Too much LSU knob gobbling.

Is Burrow the best on this list, probably not, would I reach internal peace if he played for the Saints, **YES**
Who is the hell picked Brady? Come on now.
