Secondly, Brown has largely not played much in his rookie season WHICH WAS LAST YEAR. Thirdly, Brown has shown potential to be a decent, if not quality RB in the little playing time he got last year WHICH WAS HIS ROOKIE SEASON. Lastly, Brown isn't lauded. People are HOPEFUL that he'll be good, but no one has said that Chase Brown is an already established good RB.

BTW, Chase Brown was a rookie last year. Don't know if you knew that. 


You had me at Kareem Hunt. As Sheev Palpatine once said, "Do it."

Also worth noting Chase Brown was a 5th round pick, not a Day 1/2 pick.
The expectation is (or should be) that players picked earlier should be expected to perform better earlier.
We should not have an expectation that Chase Brown has to magically be some good RB just because he's on the roster.

If people wanna gripe about the lack of success with the RBs, gripe that the Bengals have not invested much $$ and/or high draft capital into that position other than Joe Mixon.

People might wanna pump the breaks on ole' Kareem Hunt though.
Dude is 29 years old and has only had 1 season with >4.2 YPC since leaving KC. Hunt hasn't been a Chief since Marvin Lewis was the HC of the Bengals.

Hunt's YPC over the past 5 years in CLE? 4.0. And that's behind an OL that Nick Chubb has put up 5.3 YPC.
I'd rather wait to see who becomes available after the final cuts.
