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.

I never said Hunt was our option for RB1, RB2, but yes to RB3.

He had 9 TD's in 2023 with only 135 carries. I call that a specialist and impressive.
