I get it.  They have seen recent failures from guys with incredible college tape (Ross) and there seems to be a curse on our first round picks, at least from a health standpoint, of late.  

However, Chase is the missing piece for this offense to be really lethal.  I strongly believe that.  He can do so much.  He can open up the middle by being the deep threat.   If his guy is playing off him, he can make him miss on a quick hitch or screen.  He is build like a RB and has ridiculous YAC.

I also love the intangibles.  He wasn't always ranked the top guy, but his attitude was "Yes, I am the top guy...and I will show you", breaking records at every level.  I also sheepishly love what I am seeing with Joe, Chase, Moss, and Shelvin being a core group of guys from a team that knew how to put it together.  They seem to have so much accountability for such young guys.

I know this will sound a little fanboy, but this Bengals team has the chance to have really good chemistry with no jerks and a bunch of team-first, positive attitude guys.  That is what ZT wants and I think the major talent voids have been addressed (yes even on the offensive line).  If you don't think that matters, watch what is going on next door at GABP.  This is the no excuses season, and Chase is going to help this team win a lot of games THIS YEAR.
