Let's recap:
Our 2 superbowl runs featured amazing lines.
Our lines were awful for most of the 90s.
During our 5 year run of playoff appearances, line was good.
Last 5 years (all losing seasons), line was horrendous.
Carl Pickens and Darnay Scott were fun players to watch...while we went 3-13.
Thing is, I don't even view Chase as an AJ Green caliber prospect. Taking him over Sewell when we have 2 good WRs would be utterly ridiculous. Btw, where is the love for Higgins around here? That dude just had one of the best rookie seasons in Bengals history, and we act like we have some dire need at WR? I don't get it.
Sure, we need speed on the outside, but we have a pair of 1000 yard receivers on the roster. We don't need a third 1000 yard guy.
Fwiw, I think people are just fascinated with pairing Burrow with his old teammate. Burrow isn't going to toss 60 TDs in the NFL just because Chase is on the roster.
TL/DR: WR isnt as big a need as OL, and Chase is a worse prospect than Sewell.
This offense is lacking that weapon that can strike from
Anywhere on the field and simply outrun you.
Boyd is the best chain mover around.but hes not a end zone threat.
Higgins has potential to be a consistant 8 to 11 TDs a year kind of WR.
None of the TEs are red zone machines.
But this offense needs a dynamic playmaker.
