Also if you mention Joe Brady as part of Chase's success but you also have to bring up the very offensive line friendly Oregon system. Tons of screens, throws at the line of scrimmage, and heavy playaction.

Again.. not discounting his one season but it is one season. He was pedestrian at best the year before. Sewell was dominate injured and dominate again.

The Oregon system didn't slow Herbert down in his conversion to the Pro game.... and hmmm screens and play action. You mean an offense like the Rams and the one Taylor is supposedly from?

Of course this is all pointless. The Bengals showed their hand. They are going Chase and jersey sales will sky rocket.

I'll win my bet at the casino and spend my 2021 season watching Lawrence and the Jags.

And before I get hit with "you're not a real fan then or blah blah blah", I'm tired of losing seasons and no success. But we went to the playoffs 5 straight years... and lost 5 straight times. That isn't success. That's failing when it matters most. We've searched for an answer to the line woes since we decided to move on from Whit by drafting Ced and have paid dearly for it since. This team has a chance to take a line anchor that it desperately needs but is going to be stupid to sell tickets and jerseys. I'm not willing to invest time into a franchise that isn't committed to winning. When all the people who cover your team and played in the pros are saying you need to take Sewell... and you don't... that is just stupidity.

As Tim McGee perfectly put it: “Will they get substance? Or will they get shine?” McGee asked. “Substance is picking an offensive lineman. I won’t say which one because there are a couple good ones out there. Or do you go with a receiver who is going to come in and shine and score some points and still make the coach (Taylor) look good and make him look like the next up and coming offensive coordinator so that if he loses this job he can get another job? Are they trying to compete at a top level? Or is this just a show of entertainment? And the draft will basically tell you what they’re thinking.”

And Tim McGee knows more then you or anyone else that posts on this message board.
