They won the Super Bowl even though they didn't have a 1000+ yard WR.
Mahomes still threw for over 5000 yards, which was actually more than the year prior with Hill.
Kelce still dominated.
JJSS and MVS combined for 1600 yards between the two of them.
Their top 3 pass catchers put up nearly 3000 yards.
The Bengals may not get a WR quite the same caliber of Higgins, but I would say with pretty high confidence they can get a guy early in the draft that can be around 800-1000 yards. And they can find a third receiving option who can get them 600-800 yards very likely.
And I disagree that teams don't gameplan for the RT.
Did it not seem like the Chiefs in this past playoff game gameplanned to attack the weakest part of the OL, RG and RT?
Do you trust the Bengals to draft and develop an OL, or draft and develop a receiver?
So far, they seem to be much better with receivers than they do with OL.
Everything you said makes sense. But just because that's the route the Chiefs go as far as constructing
Their offense, does that mean the Bengals have
To follow that template?
Let's go back in time a few years.every football
Expert coast to coast raked the Bengals over
The proverbial coals for drafting Chase over Sewell.
It was the biggest debate on this board ever.
The Bengals front office went against conventional
Thinking and took another playmaker to go
With Tee Higgins. All that has done has got the
Bengals to the AFC Championship Game
2 years in a row and 1 SB.
And if the Bengals add a healthy oline last year
No way the Chiefs go to the SB.
The Bengals drafted Chase knowing it will not
Be easy to retain the trio of Tee Joe but its
Not impossible.
Can the Bengals draft replacements for Tee?. Of
Course. But are you willing to possibly let Higgins
Go to another AFC team while you hope his
Replacement can give you what Tee has.
Tee is a sure thing.
