The Bengals are a disappointment and Joe is off.

Joe is a very likeable QB, at least to me and much of the fanbase. People will obviously defend him to the death after the run last year. Rightfully so. However, it is also fair to objectively try to analyze him. 

I have him a little higher than you do, in the 8-10 range but that is trending downward and is quite honestly buoyed very heavily by his last six or so games from 2021. With him ending that way, I was optimistic that he would continue that trajectory into this season and he hasn't. 

You throw in the 4 post season games, we are 9 games in and he has just two games over 300 yards and two games with 3 passing Tds but outside of the game against Steelers, he as been secure with the ball but lacking the big plays  it seems.
