Piano Man getting snarky

It is very hard to replace even “average” tackles in todays NFL. Really hard.  In his defense I would point out that several OL evaluators don’t think he is only average.  And he still young and he is making up for lost time after missing 22 games. The Bengals have a terrible record of OL drafting.  Can we chill about the one positive outcome we did have?

Greg Robinson was arrested crossing the border with over 150lbs of pot. I don't think that's really the same thing. Lol

Ereck Flowers, moving position isn't bad if you're good at your new position. Just get good players. He was rated as the 17th G in football last year.

Taylor Lewan is a 3x Pro Bowler whose only bad year was coming off ACL surgery. I think he only allowed sacks in Week 1 of the 2021 season and allowed 0 the rest of the year.

Regardless of how others perform though, Jonah has been a bit of a disappointment. Not a bust, just a disappointment. He's an okay starter and there's honestly value in that. You have to admit though that nobody takes a high first round draft pick and hopes for an okay starter. Other people potentially being more disappointing doesn't change that.
