People who are saying hurst isn’t really an upgrade over CJ are flat out wrong.
Like I said before, the entire offense in 2021 was based off big plays.
Opposing defenses in 2022 play the bengals to prevent the big play. Jamarr and the entire offense in general have had less explosive plays.
And that is fine. The big plays still show up, but this offense is a better and more sustainable
Hurst has been way more consistent than CJ this year.
You have to look at the whole offense before you criticize Hurst for not putting up way better per game numbers than CJ last year. Also, just use your eyes. Hurst is head and shoulders more talented than Uzomah. The way he breaks tackles and gains extra yards is something cj wasn’t nearly as good at.
