It's more about what the team said they would do, what they ended up doing, how it's playing out now, and who's bound to pay the price for it down the road.
For example, I hate the fact that they brought back Michael Jordan. Not because I don't like him as a player or as a man. Not because I don't understand that people can make mistakes. Not because I don't believe that they deserve second chances. I just think he's being put in a position to fail with the Bengals (just like Carman, albeit in a different way). If he makes another boo-boo that results in another Burrow injury (or if Carman doesn't outperform Humphrey, Jenkins, Eichenberg, Little, Christensen, Davis, Cleveland, etc.) it will take on a life of its own and give us another ghost to be haunted by- as if we didn't have enough already. The risk/reward ratio is far too high imo.
So no, I don't like that. lol
Well, I mean you could say that about any player we took in the 2nd. There is no reason to hate on the Carman pick at this time.
I wanted Humphrey and Eichenberg a little more than Carman but understand why we took Carman.
I also liked Spencer Brown in the 3rd but with Ossai falling that far it was a no brainer IMO.
