Why do you think the Bengals put the franchise tag on him? You dont franchise tag scrubs. Tee had a down year too this year. It doesnt mean he is not a very good WR because he had a down year. Hill just couldnt get the job done. Dont blame Lou because Hill struggled at the position.
I never said Bates was a scrub, just like I never said I hated Lou, but you infer such dumb projections.
My entire point in the Bates comparison was that Dax isnt a scrub either, but of course you were unable to grasp that concept. Thus it was imbecilic to prove an already off base point with the Tee analogy. This coaching staff has failed Dax, at least for the first 2 years of his contract. It's ok to like Lou and criticize him as well. Im not going to fanboy him and pretend he is the great DC of all time and never makes mistakes.
