No one is saying he is the 2nd coming but that we will see more production and more football plays out the TE position. CJ did nothing this year that a decent TE in the NFL couldnt. He had one really good catch down the seam that Joe put on the money but required great concentration.
I think we will see better catches and decisions with Hurst, not saying he is going to be Kittle.
I think you are misunderstanding me, I’m not saying CJ is good I’m saying Hurst isn’t as good, because his blocking, but any TE for the most part will put up similar numbers. CJ was more productive with ball in hand than hurst basically his whole career, so again from an efficiency standpoint he was more productive but not at a level that doesn’t make him replaceable. The Bengals are still in for a TE in the draft because Hurst is not viewed as a long term fix.
As to who they wanted, I know for a fact they wanted CJ back and offered him a deal that was under the Jets but not quite as much as people think.
