RB Stable with Mixon Gone

In 2022 they had former 1st rounder CH-E returning and to augment him they picked up former 2nd rounder and NFL starter Ronald Jones II

In 2023 they brought back CH-E and Jerrick McKinnon who had over 800 yards from scrimmage the year prior. They also entered the season with Pacheco who had proven himself the year prior. 

Folks make it hard around here. I said "On Paper" we look like one of the weakest groups in the NFL. Moss is a journeyman who has only started due to injury and Chase is a 5th-round 2nd-year player coming off a 330 yards from scrimmage season. 

I have high hopes and hopefully next year we can say we have proven talent at the RB group. 

You're arguing just to argue.....

Planting your flag in CH-E?

- CH-E is a 1st round bust and the Chiefs shoved him down the depth chart after year 1.

- Ronald Jones is and was a nobody

- McKinnon, bless his soul, won me a fantasy title.... WITH RECEIVING YARDS & TDs. Not rushing, which is why you had to quote his yards from scrimmage and not rushing stats.

- Pacheco was an emerging young player and far from some proven playmaker.

^ He's a great example of why you rotate through RBs - yes, even young ones - until you find guys that fit your offense in today's NFL. None of these guys are "bell cows". They are a complimenting group.

And I STILL want to know if Chris Evans made a pass at one of the Blackburn girls or something and upset ownership. He's electric when he gets his hands on the ball.... yet has been MIA after a very good preseason.

I am not saying Moss is Emmit Smith. I'm saying he is at worse the same production as Mixon while blocking better....  AND Brown will get the rock more with Mixon gone - which makes the Bengals rushing atttack more explosive. AND that the Bengals did well in making better use of Mixons money.
