I loved the Chase pick, even though he was my 3rd choice. I'm ecstatic that he seems to be the real deal and he's been invaluable to the offense this year. At the same time, I'm rooting for Sewell to figure it out and start producing at a higher level because I think he's a good kid, a very talented player...and I want to see him do well, even though he's not a Bengal.
Nobody said we couldn't be "excited" about those things (heck, I'm thrilled about it, because I'm a Bengals fan), but for many, it's not about being excited so much as sticking somebody else's nose in it.
If you're going to do that, and it's really not accurate as far as the predictions that were made this offseason, then yeah..I'll call BS what it is.
But as for my own rooting interest? I hope Chase is the best Bengals WR in team history (I've already predicted he will be multiple times, even though I'm supposed to be a hater), and as for Sewell? He can kick rocks. He's a Lion.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
