A few preseason games in: Chase sucks can’t catch a ball, Dante Smith is the savior at RG, Ossai/sample have made this the most dangerous defensive line in a long time. It’s nice to be excited or disappointed but damn let’s get through a few regular season games and see what happens. If chase is sucking 4 games in I will be concerned at that point.
Yeah there's always overreactions on both sides. I was just saying that (for some) there will never be a point where it's okay to criticize..at least not until the player is no longer a Bengal. That said, yes we absolutely should give Chase (and every player) time to prove themselves one way or the other.

We didn't call it quits on Ross until after year 4, even though he gave off bust vibes from game 1.
Hope springs eternal I guess.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
