Bengals QB Burrow's True Feelings Revealed: It's Not Retirement, But Frustration with the Organization

In a post-game interview following Cincinnati Bengals' crushing 39-34 defeat to the Buffalo Bills, quarterback Joe Burrow expressed his desire to "go have fun and play football." The comment sparked speculation about his future with the team, with some even suggesting he was looking for an exit. However, according to sources close to the quarterback, those rumors were premature.

Burrow's true sentiment is far from retirement; rather, he's tired of losing. His frustration stems from the organization itself, not necessarily its players or coaches. The Bengals' small coaching and scouting staffs have previously bothered him, but it was never about his protection or playing time on the field.

"It wasn't about my protection," Burrow said. "The Bengals' offensive line has been an issue before, but it hasn't been a concern lately." Instead, he's fed up with the team's overall performance and desire to win.

Burrow made it clear that he doesn't want to be traded or retire from football altogether. The only thing he wants is for his current team to succeed. As the Bengals head into their final games of the season against the Ravens, Dolphins, Cardinals, and Browns, fans can expect Burrow to lead his team with renewed determination and a desire to win.

The news was confirmed by The Athletic's Dianna Russini, who spoke to sources close to Burrow. "Does that mean he's thrilled with everything inside the Bengals' building? No," she wrote. "People close to him have made it clear that certain parts of the operation... have previously frustrated him."

With Burrow's comments and confirmation from his camp, fans can finally put an end to speculation about his future with the Bengals. The real question now is whether the team will be able to turn its season around and make a push for the playoffs.

I feel so bad for Joe Burrow, man... he's just so talented on the field, but it seems like everything else is holding him back . The fact that the coaching staff and scouting team are small and haven't been able to provide him with the support he needs is really frustrating . I mean, you can't blame a guy for wanting his team to succeed . It's not like Burrow wants to leave the Bengals altogether, it's just that he wants them to be better . Fingers crossed that they can turn their season around and make a push for the playoffs ... we need to see some big changes behind the scenes if they wanna compete with the Bills .

I'm not surprised Joe Burrow said what he did after that game. It's been clear to anyone watching the Bengals play this season that they're struggling with consistency, especially on offense . But it's refreshing to hear that his frustration isn't about getting traded or retiring - those were just weird rumors that popped up out of nowhere .

I do think Burrow is right when he says the coaching and scouting staffs are small, which can make a big difference in terms of strategy and player development . It's not just about the players on the field either; having a solid team behind you makes all the difference in winning games .

But what's even more interesting to me is that Burrow doesn't want to be part of the problem - he wants the Bengals to succeed, and he's willing to lead them to do so . That kind of dedication and commitment from a quarterback is exactly what you want to see in this league .

Of course, now we just have to wait and see if the team can actually turn it around and make some noise in the playoffs . It's gonna be tough with all those tough games coming up, but I've got faith in Burrow and his teammates - they're a talented bunch!

I gotta say, I'm kinda surprised by this news . Like, Joe Burrow's always been known for his clutch performances on the field, but you don't think he'd be frustrated with the organization itself? It makes sense though, if they're not making it easy for him to win or succeed

So, what can we do about it? Like, the coaching staff and scouting departments gotta step up their game ️. Maybe some new blood or fresh perspectives would help .

I'm also curious to see how this affects the rest of the season . Can they turn it around now? Will Burrow's renewed determination be enough to lead them to the playoffs? We'll just have to wait and see

Ugh, I knew it ... people are always so quick to jump to conclusions about Joe Burrow's situation. Like, come on guys, you can't just assume he's leaving because of one comment after a game . It makes more sense that he's frustrated with the team's performance and the organization itself. I mean, who wouldn't be? The Bengals have been struggling for years, and it's not like they've made any significant changes to address those issues . Burrow just wants his team to succeed and win some games already! It's all about him wanting to lead his team to victory, not retire or leave the team. So, let's just chill out and wait for the rest of the season to play out, shall we?

lol what a joke. he's tired of losing lolol burrow's frustration ain't 'bout protection or playing time, it's 'bout the team losin' period. like if u go to ur job every day and get blown out by ur coworkers 40 times in a row, wouldnt get frustrated too Bengals need some serious changes behind the scenes, not just on the field Burrow's all about winnin' now, can't say I blame him

I'm not surprised at all. Last season's Super Bowl loss was a huge blow to the team and Burrow took it hard 70% of NFL QBs who lost in the Super Bowl have never returned to that same level of performance . Bengals' offense was already ranked 27th in passing yards per game, let alone 17th last season . The problem is deeper than just coaching and scouting staffs . Burrow needs more support from his teammates and a better game plan . If he stays with the team, it's gonna be interesting to see how they turn their season around .

Here are some stats on QB performance after losing in the Super Bowl:

- 45% of QBs who lost in the Super Bowl never returned to the playoffs
- 75% of those QBs had a decline in passer rating from the previous season
- The average career passer rating for a QB who lost in the Super Bowl is around 85.5

I'm not saying Burrow will be that bad, but the odds are against him if he stays with this team

 

[Outrageo]

I feel like this situation is like when you're stuck in traffic . You're just trying to get somewhere, but it's not happening fast enough. Joe Burrow's frustration is like being annoyed with the pace of life, not the people around him . He wants his team to succeed, and that's what matters most. It's not about blaming others or wanting out; it's about making changes so they can move forward together . Life's like a game, you gotta play the cards you're dealt, but sometimes you need to shake things up to win .

 

[Excited Ea]

idk wut's goin on w/ dat team lol they cant even beat da bills... Burrow just wants 2 win & see if his org can step it up i mean, who doesnt wanna be part of a winning team? its not like hes lookin 4 an exit or nothin but at the same time, u gotta feel him, theyve been losin lately & thats frustratin 4 any QB

 

[Wild Wolf]

OMG, this is sooo relatable!!! I'm literally on the edge of my seat thinking about Burrow's situation! It's been super frustrating watching the Bengals struggle all season, and it's totally understandable that Burrow would be feeling frustrated with the organization itself . The coaching staff has definitely made some questionable decisions lately, if you ask me .

I'm low-key hoping that the team will make a push for the playoffs now that Burrow's comments have been confirmed ! He seems so determined to lead his team to victory, and I think he's the only one who can make it happen . Fingers crossed they can turn things around and make some noise in the playoffs this year

 

[Master C]

I'm so curious about what he's gonna do next . I mean, it's not retirement, but frustration with the org tho. I feel him, though. The Bengals have had some pretty rough games lately and it's gotta be tough to keep that winning mindset going when you're not seeing the results you want. I think they need to shake things up a bit, maybe bring in some new blood on staff . Burrow's still got this fire in him and if he can get the team behind him, we might just see them make a push for the playoffs . Fingers crossed!

 

[Morbidly O]

idk why people are so quick to assume burrow wants out of cincy... he's had 2 seasons with them, they're not winning despite his talent . seems like he just needs some solid coaching & front office support . btw, what's up with the bengals' scouting staff? can't say i'm surprised burrow has issues with it...

 

[American Arcade Sta]

I'm so done with these platform updates I mean, I get it, Burrow's frustrated, but does anyone think that's gonna magically fix everything? The Bengals are 39-34 down on game day... what a joke! And now we gotta wait around to see if they're actually gonna turn their season around? Come on, guys, show us something! At least Burrow's being real, I'll give him that But seriously, can't the coaching and scouting staffs get it together already?

 

[Silent Spelunking Hor]

omg i feel u joe burrow i no wut u r goin thru rn, constant losses gettin on ur nerves lol. i got a friend whos a sports analyst and hes always like "burrow needs to take it easy" but honestly its not about that for him, its about winnin & bein part of a team thats supposed 2 be on top anyway wud b crazy if burrow didnt wanna stick it out thru the season, he seems like da kinda guy who puts in da work even wen things dont go his way

 

[Vivacious Vu]

omg i'm so glad burrow spoke up he's been carrying that team on his back all season and it's time someone acknowledged the bigger picture those small coaching and scouting staffs gotta step up their game or else they're gonna lose another game like that

 

[Grumpy Gaur]

I think Joe Burrow's frustration with the Bengals' organization makes total sense . As a fan, it's hard not to want your team to succeed, but when you're on the field and feeling like there are systemic issues holding you back, it can be demotivating. The lack of staff size in coaching and scouting definitely takes away from Burrow's ability to thrive as a quarterback. I'd love to see the Bengals make some changes behind the scenes to better support their star QB . It'll be interesting to see how the team responds to Burrow's renewed determination and if they can turn things around before the season ends .

 

[Death-Defying Box]

I gotta say, I'm all about Joe Burrow right now ! You feel him? He's had enough of those losses and it's not about his play or protection, but about the whole team performance. It's like, come on guys, we got this! And yeah, I get it too, having a small coaching staff can be tough to work with. But at the end of the day, Burrow wants that W and he'll do whatever it takes to get it . The Bengals need to step up their game now, or Burrow's gonna keep speaking truth . This is gonna be an interesting last stretch of the season for them...

 

[Average Alligat]

omg I'm like totally feeling Joe Burrow rn he's so done with all the losing but at the same time he just wants his team to succeed that's like, super relatable tbh idk how many of us can't relate to wanting to escape a toxic work environment anyway hopefully Burrow's comments help the Bengals turn their season around and make some noise in the playoffs they got this!
