I will say that Hart played pretty well towards the end of the season - but not at a really high level, and Johnson had some good reps as well.
But if you're drafting a franchise QB, you want to support him with more than OK players or possibly ascending players. You're either going to have to draft them or get them in FA.
But we cannot afford to stand pat. There needs to be an upgrade - if for no other reason than a guarantee of quality and the guarantee of quality depth.
Makes me nervous he does
Agree 100% those quotes sounds like typical Bengals propaganda and reasons not to utilize free agency. They will settle for below average play with cheap contracts instead of looking for major upgrades. Tobin also said “ We'd like to sell more tickets," he said. "You need to win to make that happen. We didn't win and that's just the results of a poor season or multiple poor seasons. That's life in the NFL, especially in a market like Cincinnati. He sounds like Mike Brown making it seem like it’s tough to survive in a small market. This team hasn’t won a playoff game in 30 years or under your tenure as GM. We had cap space and signed B.W. Webb , Wynn and John Miller last offseason. The fans will buy tickets when you put a winner on the field and show your serious about winning. Stop worrying about ticket sales Duke and focus on the draft and free agency.
