People still wrapping a cape around him because he was on the team when they went to the SB and AFC Championship, yet the organization that got there too said "nah, you can go." They went and got a bunch of rookies in the secondary and I knew Apple would be gone. They obviously think they have better options.

This is a prime example of the uninformed fans that we have. 

Again CB is the MOST difficult position on defense. 

The Bengals did NOT get a bunch of rookies, they drafted ONE to play this year and a project that may or may not make the team. They return 3 starters, 2 veteran backups, a practice squad player.

Low football IQ fans want to compare Apple to much higher paid CBs which is comically wrong.  Again, due to the difficulty of position and production over expectation and cost, Eli was one of the best options in the league.  

Teams replace CBs approaching 30 every year.  I do appreciate you helping to prove my point.
