Regardless of how good or bad anybody thinks he is as a pass catcher, his poor blocking is likely a big reason why he doesn't get more opportunities.  A lot of RB passing assignments require them to block/chip first, then release.  And that is his fault.  He's a 5th year starter in the league and still can't block.

As Chase said, the Bengals didn't start throwing down field until late, so the Bears sat on the underneath stuff.  That's more of a play calling issue than a talent one.
