Predraft... 'We have to take Chase, we'll never have a deep game if we don't.'
Postdraft... 'Yeah, sure, Chase is putting up great numbers, but why are we throwing the ball to him instead of a screen?'
I'm not sure if it's just people's unrealistic expectations at this point, or 'the grass is always greener.' We aren't going to put up 600 yards per game every Sunday. We aren't going to beat opponents by double digits every week. We aren't going to have someone with Chase's numbers AND chew up field with a dink and dunk game.
Perhaps its more people trying to figure out why with an offense that has as many weapons as the Bengals are supposed to and has played one of the easiest schedules in the NFL YTD we have an offense ranked 24th in the league.
So yeah, maybe something isnt working real well there.
