The offense has a top 5 paid offensive line. They have Joe Burrow who just signed a 55 million per year contract. They have two #1 wide receivers which includes one of the best in football. They have a running back that stands a good chance at making his 2nd Pro Bowl. Overall the Bengals spend the 6th most in the NFL on offense at 106.1 million of their total cap space. Defense by comparison is #10 overall at 86.4 million so the Bengals are spending more and are ranked higher in the NFL on spending money for the offense vs the defense. The question should be why is the offense so horrible with the amount of money that is already invested?
Comparing the numbers of a 4 man unit to a 5 man unit is silly. Mentioning Burrow when he was unhealthy for all but 5 games is beyond silly.
"The question should be why is the offense so horrible with the amount of money that is already invested?" You seriously do not know this answer? Maybe read a book called NFL 101, the chapter titled; Losing a franchise QB is detrimental to an offense....? That statement is fatuous and absurd.
We can agree that both sides are getting paid way more than they are producing. I can agree that the lack of offense is part of the reason why the defense was so bad this year.
But let's not act like we dont understand the impact of losing Burrow.
