This is a fair question to all who love the team.
Do you believe the team will rush the "franchise" back too soon. I know that Joe is a competitor but I'd really lean to the cautious side. I'm thinking week four cautious.Thoughts... Especially if he can't fully participate before the season. I just keep thinking Andrew Luck.... Who is our backup btw... No seriously. Just didn't do everything in the power of the organization to protect the guy. I want to believe but its difficult. The reports this week was interests in another wideout.... Why
So it would appear by your comments to replies thus far that you were never really looking an answer to the question rather just agreement with your take on the situation.
No he will not be rushed back because Joe is smarter than that. His dad played college and pro ball as well as being a long time coach. He understands the nature of injuries and I am certain that he is advising Joe through the entire process.
As to the O line...again here I would disagree with you. They brought back one of the best O line coaches in the game right now. In his single season with the Bengals the line showed improvement and he should have never been let go in the first place. They added Riley Reiff filling the weak link at RT(does not matter if only for a season at this point as you only play a season at a time). They were in the market for a high caliber OG and got that prospect in Jackson Carman. That really leaves one OG spot open and we have very qualified candidates to compete for that position.
Why wouldn't the team be interested in players at any position if they were potential upgrades to what we have in the depth chart now and give the team a better chance of winning?
