Would fans be accepting if Collins is put on PUP such that he can't play for 6 weeks, thus putting a rookie RT in for that time and the rookie struggles? I would imagine quite a lot of fans would be frustrated if that happened and wish/demand the Bengals had gotten a vet OT to start instead. Although they'll be frustrated even if a veteran struggles too.
I think fans would be a lot more patient with a rookie struggling than they would with Jonah or LC, or another vet.
We eventually have to hit on a damn draft pick tho. We cannot survive on FGAs with the route our cap is heading, and it is beyond time for this scouting department to step up, a decade is too long to go without a decent draft pick on the oline.
