I don't see any reason to bring race into it. Plenty of black players were hyped on here and did less than Erickson...who was an average return guy and decent WR depth. And tbh, was Erickson really all that hyped? By who?
Responding to your overall post, I'd say the Bengals at least got rid of these players, which is more than we could say in the past. Most of these guys were producing when we signed them. Bobby Hart though...there's no excusing that. I have no idea what they were thinking.
Troy Blackburn getting all salty about it was comical. It's like he knew they got burned on that deal but was hoping the fanbase wouldn't notice. Then when we noticed, he got all pissy.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
