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. 

Right on

One of the stat heads the other day was comparing B. Allen's stats against the starters in the NFL at QB. Sure he's going to look bad, context. And I'm not taking up for Allen, at all. He's not good

But Apple doesn't deserve anything close to the hate he gets on here. Apple played some damn good games for us and we should be thankful. I'm old and don't do social media so I could care less about him running his mouth on there. But hell a ton of em do it. Like others have said, double standard.

I'm not butt hurt he's gone. But in the same breath I wouldn't mind having him back as a backup.
