As you've said, the Bengals history does the players no justice.

In this instance, by not putting him in IR they give the NFL the impression that he should have been able to play this year and has had complications, thus turning other teams off to him for next year and driving his market price down.

It could actually be an honest mistake, but highly unlikely when the Bengals are involved. Mikey knows how to play the game when it comes to the money side.

For them to be skeptical of resigning him before they are sure he can play is prudent. None of us know what dollar amount AJ and his agent are seeking but breaking the bank for a player who will , by the end of the year, have missed one  and a half years straight doesn't make sense. My way of thinking is AJ has been paid well over his contracts and should do something like Fitzgerald has done and not try to hold the team hostage. I guess we will all see just how much AJ  wants to truly retire a Bengal.

(12-17-2019, 04:49 PM)oncemoreuntothejimbreech Wrote: So in light of Green seeing a specialist you’ve moved on from him quitting on the team to “let’s see how much he wants to retire a Bengal.”

Who the ef wants to retire a Bengal?  During Mike Brown’s almost 30 year reign of terror upon us fans, the Bengals’ greatest achievement is that they didn’t suck for about five years in a row before returning to MB’s baseline level of shittiness to once again compete for the number one overall draft pick (which they’ll probably miss out on due to the dead cat bounce.)

I really don't give a rats A%% what AJ does all I know is we can't rebuild keeping players for their nostalgic value. The team needs to improve and while I would agree that the chance of MB changing his stripes and buying his way out of mediocrity is slim to none , that is exactly what needs to be done. So if you are happy griping about how shitty the team is while giving over the hill players millions ,well good luck because that's not how I see the turnaround happening.

You only comment to try to point the spotlight at yourself instead of discussing the other issues facing the team. But lets be real, you have no more insight into AJ's injuries than anyone else. If you are so darned smart why don't you give the FO your number so you can diagnose the Bengals injuries instead of those real doctors who went to school for nearly a decade? 

(12-18-2019, 12:15 PM)oncemoreuntothejimbreech Wrote: As far as insight into his injury, I can watch the film and determine the mechanism of injury.  From the mechanism of injury, I can determine a differential diagnosis of the most likely injuries.  From his treatment (surgery) I can determine his ankle sprai was at least grade III which involved at least one completely ruptured ligament at a minimum.  From the mechanism of injury I can determine the most likely ligament which needed surgery (deltoid, less than 5% of ankle sprains involve the deltoid ligament.)  
Now it's your turn to cast more irrational aspersions on Green's character.

As I stated earlier I don't care about AJ enough to worry about weather we should be sorry that a multimillionaire may not want to be here. What I do care about is how we get back to winning. As much as I like AJ we would be better off with a nut case like AB who produces. Quit crying about winning if you want to keep aging players who quit producing but you like their "character".

So you all need to just stop making stuff up in your heads and claiming it is true.
