Bengals shopping John Ross

During this season we concluded at various points that neither the MVP QB nor the QB who eventually won his 6th SB could be successful here...yet somehow we are still optimistic about 2019.

Again, fandom intrigues me so.  Anyways, I'm not sure how I turned this into me sounding like I was on the Mahommes train from draft day onward...I wasn't.  I'm just saying seeing Mahommes being better than Ross isn't the sort of thing that requires the magic of hindsight.

I wasn't a fan of the Ross pick btw. I wanted either Malik Hooker or Derek Barnett.

In all fairness, being the MVP in your 1st year as a starter does sort of catch the eyes of people.  Also, I'd have to say that more than 1% of football fans had the idea that Mahommes was going to be better/more important than John Ross.  One guy is the "best" player in the league right now and one is being shopped for what may end up being a late-round pick.  Someone had to see this coming.
