In 2017, there were 21 teams who's #2 WR (not including tight ends or running backs) who had more receiving yards than LaFell.
14 of those players had more TDs than LaFell.
4 of those players had as many TDs as LaFell.
The Bengals ranked 32nd in the NFL for a reason. 27th in passing offense.
"Well, we ranked top 12 in passing TDs"
Congrats?
LaFell was out there on more snaps than any of our WRs.
Pac should have been released, but yet Marvin stuck up for him. Plus, WJIII should have been the starter all year. Not Adam Jones. Adam Jones started 9 games this year. 9. WJIII started 5 games.
And yes, WJIII started getting more snaps. Which is obviously deserved. But why continue to start Adam Jones over WJIII? Serious question.
MJ is not a better RDE than Willis. He's done better as a hybrid DT than at DE. Film will show you that he was productive at DT, not so much DE.
Great post Wolf with truth behind all of it.

Your opinion of Ross is meaningless. He has shown nothing to indicate that he was better than Lafell. Since LaFell entered the league in '10 he is one of only 15 WRs with at least 390 receptions and a 13.4 or better average per catch. He is no super star, but he has been a solid starter for years while Ross has done ZERO in the NFL.
Way to ignore all of Wolf's post's substance Fred and ignore what has happened lately once again.
I liked Lafell when we added him and stuck up for him but we can upgrade the #2 WR position and John Ross has the skills to do just that.
You will see one day. :andy:
