Apparently some think that if you're on the 53, you need to be a decent starter at all times.

The Bengals chose to draft a guy who needed polishing.
The Bengals chose to let Boyd walk in FA.
Between Irwin (who was ok in spurts last year) and Iosivas, they likely thought they had WR3 and immediate backup covered.


This wouldn't be a problem if the Bengals just forced Burton into Irwin's reps, but I am assuming Burton hasn't grasped all the different routes to run correctly yet.
He's clearly more elite athletically though.
