Clarke is in his 3rd year now. Hunt is in his 4th and was a 2nd round pick. Will Clarke was a 3rd round pick.
There's no hatred for Hunt, just more like when is he going to show up and he's a bust for a 2nd round pick after 3 years of nothing. That's not hate, that's just pointing out in the off season that he hasn't done anything, which was 100% true for his first 3 years.
Three years of nothing for a 2nd round pick is a bit ridiculous you'd have to admit. Could you imagine Boyd not contributing until his 4th year?
Sorry if not you, but anyone who calls any player trash or says he is a POS is bashing him. It amazes me some fans who think they know more than a coaching staff and FO that has established themselves as top 5 in the NFL the past 5 years. If ML and Tobin thinks Hunt deserves his job and his pay, then I side with them. You see, they know all the facts including injury and watch every practice. We see snapshots and have no idea the health of any player at any given time and form opinions based on very limited info.
We are all different, but I could care less if drafted in round 1 or a free agent, once they make the team they are a Bengal. It is great a 4th round pick like Geno becomes a Superstar or a 2nd round pick like Dunlap. But look around the league, I see 1st round misses or 2nd round misses all the time. A draft position is not a guarantee of success in the NFL. Ponder, Locker and Gabbert were all drafted ahead of Andy and how did they work out?
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
