One of the debates Thursday on the "Rich Eisen Show" was about whether Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will get back to the Super Bowl after leading Cincinnati to Super Bowl 56 against the Los Angeles Rams at the conclusion of his second NFL season.

Eisen responded to predictions from others on the show that Burrow won't return by explaining that he's sure Burrow will be back "multiple times."

"Joe Burrow is going back to the Super Bowl - how about this? - multiple times," Eisen said. "He'll be back in the Super Bowl. He is so special. He is so very special. I am clearly all the way in on this guy. I don't know if this is the year he goes back. Back-to-back is a tough row to hoe. Multiple times he gets back. And part of the reason why you're saying what you're saying - history's on your side. ... But admit this ... part of the reason why you're saying what you're saying is not just 'history's on your side.' There have been Hall of Fame quarterbacks who make it once and never get back. You've named me Marino and you're assuming Rodgers won't get back in his remaining window. Just to name two. Part of the reason you're saying this is because you think the Bengals are the Bengals. That's it: You don't believe the Bengals can do it. You don't think the Bengals can do it because the Bengals are the Bengals. They play in a stadium that doesn't have a naming right. The owner is such a dinosaur. And the Bengals will always Bengal. They'll always screw it up. Something will always happen to screw it up where they'll get in their own way. And the Bengals are the Bengals. And I'm here to tell you Burrow is change - it's over. That time is over for a long-ass time. Ja'Marr Chase. It's not just Burrow either. OK, I've made my point. You've made yours. Clearly there's a lot of runway for us to be proven correct or incorrect."
