Why didn't the Bengals add a proven RB in the offseason

My point was that our oline has been crap for years, especially run blocking, which is likely the largest part of the equation for our run game woes compared to all of our RBs being bums. 

Definitely fair on the Panthers game part though. I didn't realize in the moment that was in the latter half of stats and was just using the first 8 games vs last 8 games.

It was me that mentioned it, and I was pointing strictly to yards per touch.
YPT was actually 0.1 higher in 2022.
YPC was down only by 0.2 from 2021.

Personally, I don't care how a RB (or any player) gets yards and TDs. Just that they get them.
The more you get, the better you are considered to be by many fans.

Maybe that means I'm less knowledgeable about what makes a good player, but what I mostly care about are stats.
Could be that it was fantasy football that really got me into football though.
