The last game Bengals played I thought Baltimore had us beat. They were ahead late in game. Our weak O Line was letting Dalton get killed most of the game. Most quarterbacks would not have got up from those free full speed hits Baltimore laid on Dalton due to no blocking. I give Dalton credit. He stayed in there and NO QUIT as he pulled out a miracle 40 to 50 yard touchdown bomb to Boyd to win the game. You don't follow THAT game by trading Boyd to Buffalo for a player to be named later. It could very well be Boyd is rising to take the place of Jones and Sanu and give AJ Green some help on the double team coverage on Green. This was no small game winning touchdown bomb. It came against tough Baltimore Defense who we play twice again in 2018. This did not come against a weak team. Boyd beat the coverage and got deep and made game winning catch. Dalton with little blocking got him the ball. No way I break up the Dalton to Boyd right after this win in our last game.
Also, the 1981 Super Bowl Bengals had many good pass targets. You need that if you are going to win. You can't just have 1 or 2 good pass catchers against top NFL defenses. If Bengals have many good pass catchers, that is a good thing, but we don't know that yet. That super fast top pick in 2017 hasn't did anything yet and all fan excitement is pure hype. He has yet to do anything. It could be we aren't loaded at all at WR. This is no time to trade Boyd who came on strong end of season. Boyd may just be a rare Bengals draft pick who shows he was worth drafting. Seems to me every time Dalton starts to get the timing down to a WR, they end up on another team and then everybody wonders what is wrong with Dalton. If Dalton is starting to throw game wining passes to Boyd, don't take Boyd away from Dalton like Jones and Sanu.
