And that is what he did. I saw Carson Palmer irate at his receivers way more than I have ever seen Dalton in his years here. This isn't about making it easy on yourself. Its about the team. Our old blood Bengals did not have the proper team mentality. We went to the playoffs twice with Carson Palmer the golden boy and Chad and TJ. Dalton and AJ have gotten us there 4 straight years. So what would you rather have? Balls to the walls every time, or try when you think its the right time? Because I get irritated when I see AJ not go 100% when it easily could have made a difference if he was.
16 freaking games. Making millions of dollars. I want the best route every time............................................
I prefer production over effort.
Sometimes playing smart leads to more production.
When I was in college I worked at the Racquetball center. I played a lot and got pretty good. Many times I would play against guys who smashed into walls and threw themselves on the floor every point. But by playing smart I could beat them.
