I don't want to spend this much money on a guy that's injury prone, especially when we have Burrow, who can make any average receiver look as good as Tee.
I want to keep Burrow happy, and Tee is good, but I think the money would be better spent on the offensive line and the defense.
Hopefully, we find a willing team and pull a tag and trade.
I'm not happy.
Which bengal receiver over the past 5 years has burrow turned from average to good? All of the TE he’s turned from bad to average.
Has he made Andre good? Trenton Irwin is now a good receiver? AG green his last year was good? Auden Tate? Morgan stanley?
Tom brady did not turn average players to good. There is zero proof of that. We can say eddelman wouldn't be good but we have no evidence of that.
Tom brady had great receivers: Gronk, Randy Moss, Eddelman, Wes Welker, Troy brown.
Peyton manning had: Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Demaryius Thomas.
How is Mahomes average receivers doing? Kaderiius toney went from NYG to Mahomes. Did he go from average to good? Nope
At the end of the day you either have nfl talent or you don’t. Burrow makes Chase and Higgins somewhat better because he can make more throws than other QBs. But these wide receivers gotta run the route. Let’s give credit to the receivers. QB’s need good and great receivers. Not a bunch of bottom of the roster scrubs and he’ll make an nfl offense out of them.
