I’m talking about those who said that Ja’Marr was a bust after dropping 3 balls, those that said the Bengals would be the worst team in the league because of the pick, and those who said that the franchise should be dissolved because of it.

This is just one example, but there are many more of these extreme statements that were made in response to Chase being drafted here. And they look very silly.

It was the completely over the top folks (like Tannenbaum and a couple posters here) that should be embarrassed by some of the things that they said.

Fair enough, guys. I argued pretty fiercely with you and a few others, Nicomo, but not many of us made overly bold claims like that...and I was excited about Chase from day one. I understood why people wanted him, I just wanted the other guy more. Glad I was wrong.
