I been watching him closely and waiting for him to come into his own, but I must admit it hasn't happened and at this point I feel like it won't happen..just looking back to when Jackson Carmen was starting people was gripping and bitchin every week for him to be benched why is nobody saying that about this guy??
Imo Carmen was coming along slowly but he had some really good games against Pittsburgh and Baltimore that made me feel like he could possibly be a good player..I feel like the volston experiment should be over at this point he's clearly the weak link and it's borderline embarrassing tbh..it's like everytime a team runs a stunt Cordell is on skates getting abused and I'm tired of it..
We was quick and more than willing to pull a struggling 2nd rd pick why are we so patient with a struggling 4th rd pick just asking for clarity..

Word is the Bengals will re-sign Drew Plitt, the Loveland kid to be the 3rd QB. Browning#1, McCarron #2 and Plitt #3

If Bengals move McCarron off practice squad to have Browning and McCarron suited up for Steelers, they have to bring in a 3rd QB. This is just a simple fact. If Browning or McCarron get injured, which is possible in NFL tackle football, they will need somebody on practice squad to activate. I'll be interest to see who they bring in.

How many games should we win with a backup QB that’s got zero experience in the NFL? Based on what you’ve seen out of the defense and offense so far this season? We have 7 games left.

Is Starting AJ McCarron a Remote Possibility? |

Is anyone besides me considering it might be advantageous to start AJ McCarron over Jake Browning based on experience? I have nothing but mad respect for Jake but AJ has starting experience with several NFL teams and his big game record at Alabama has to count for something.
AJ is definitely more of a gunslinger than Jake and I think his deep ball is better as well. In my opinion AJ gives the Bengals a better chance of taking deep shots they sorely need to beat the Steelers next weekend.
Maybe it’s just a style thing with me because I prefer a quarterback who plays with a degree of reckless abandon. Yes, I know AJ will make mistakes because he’s not the perfect technician but he plays with his heart on his sleeve. I believe the rest of the team needs that kind of a leader right now.

Burrow or the system? |

With Burrows latest injury. The question has become "is he injury prone"? I have to admit I'm beginning to wonder myself. I mean a calf strain and a torn ligament in his wrist seem like odd/rare injuries for a QB let alone in one season. Then I started to think what steps can we take to protect him? Focus on the run more? Is this even possible under Zac? I mean Zac is great at maintaining players health by taking it easy on they're bodies where he can at practice. Which is great but the one player he seems unwilling to try and protect is the one we can't lose?
I mean his rookie year he has a garbage line and is asked to throw it 40+ times a game gets knee shredded.
Next year gets sacked a ton and again is asked to throw it a ton while coming back from major knee injury ( did go to the superbowl ) but gets dinged up at the end.
Third year more of the same but again goes in not 100% due to appendicitis yet no change at all. Just put Joe out there to get beat to hell until he and the line start to play better.
Then finally this year the calf strain clearly not 100% and again no change. We go away from the run even when it is working and refuse to use other backs and just expect Burrow to throw it a ton.
So is it Burrow or Taylor? We refuse to adjust our game even when all signs point to the fact things need adjusted. I wonder if we've reached a point where the system isn't just worth complaining but needs to change. This is something we really need to look at and it may really need to be time to bring someone else in to take over the offense.
It seems like it might be getting to a point of repeating itself. It's not if Burrow will get hurt its how bad will he get hurt. Something needs to change.

Burrow is injured and out - it is what it is. Ranting about coaches or OL or whatever won't fix it immediately. He'll get the surgery, recover and be back. If the team approaches these 7 games the right way they are not wasted and meaningless. To me these games need to be used for:
1) Identifying the need places correctly so that we go into offseason with a logical plan.
2) Get all the youngsters lots of snaps. If a player is not expected to be here next year sit them, our youths need the snaps. The more snaps we get the kids the better they will be next year.
3) (this is real pie in the sky) Start rethinking how the offense should be schemed because this scheme is too much hoping on Burrow to be a superhero and not a sound one with a real identity.
4) Fix the defensive issues, and make sure the culture in the defensive room embraces good tackling and using your brain out there (read and react and lane discipline and backside are all mental things). ALL the defensive issues are mental at this point.
In other words, lay the foundation for 2024 so we come out of the gate storming and don't let up.
