Not trying to be a smart ass but we have plenty of examples of how he plays with a good line. From 2011 through 2016 the Bengals pass blocking efficiency was ranked, 3rd, 3rd, tied for 2nd, 2nd, 5th and 15th. His best season wasn't even the line's best rating. He's had plenty of really good pass blocking lines and he's been below average to average with 1 season of elite level play during that 6 year stretch.
In 8+ seasons he's had a quarterback rating above 90, two times. T.W.O.
He’s just not good enough to overcome this team’s deficiencies. Maybe if he had been drafted by a better franchise, but alas...
We need to hit the jackpot on a stud QB. One with size, who’s mobile, can extend plays, and makeup for a subpar OL. We will have a good chance to get one with a strong QB class and a high pick this year. Now is the time. The whole “let’s not turn into Cleveland” is bs. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, you keep trying until you find your guy.
If we had taken a QB with each of our 1st round picks instead of Ced Og, Ross, Price, Dennard, etc and they didn’t work out we’d be in the exact same position we’re in now.
