Everybody is looking at him as a top ten bust instead of looking at his upside and seeing the he's a good player that could do big things in opening up our offense.
If you look at per 17 games (he had one injury in his 2nd year where he missed 7 games) then he's averaging 739 yards, an average which would be the highest total for a single season a Bengals TE has had since Bob Trumpy in 1969 pre-NFL.
He was a bust as far as the #4 pick goes, but if he was the #30, he would be considered a success. Throwing him in with John Ross, who physically could not catch a football, is some outright disrespectful shit, Nately. Lol

That's exactly what I've been saying all along, and also look at the fact that he's never had a receiver like Chase on the outside drawing coverage out of the middle of the field.
Imagine him one-on-one with a backer or safety and I'll take that with Burrow throwing him the ball all day.
Facts don't care about your feelings. BIG THANKS to Holic for creating that gif!
