Jake Fisher - He's got a lot to prove
Russell Bodine - At best, he hasn't impressed. At worst, he's been steamrolled for instant pressure up the middle.
Tyler Eifert - If he can't stay healthy...which would truly be sad because he's an amazing talent
Michael Johnson - More of an age thing. He was solid in his prime, but it may be time to cut bait soon.
Dre Kirkpatrick - He got paid, so if he doesn't maintain last year's level of play, fans naturally won't be happy
Shaun Williams/George Iloka - I thought they were fine last year, but a lot of fans were a little rough on them because they weren't happy losing Nelson, IMO.
Andy Dalton - As always, he'd better post good numbers to keep the sharks at bay.

A lot of these have big "if's" involved. I think Eifert will be healthy, Dalton will post good numbers again, Williams and Iloka will win people over, and Kirkpatrick will be fine. The o-line and Michael Johnson (if he's not replaced via draft) are my biggest candidates for fan rage. Among players anyway. Mike Brown, Marvin and Paul Alexander make catch grief yet again if they disappoint yet again.

I started the thread to have fun and get a leg up on 2017 since we lost 2 fan favorite whipping boys. All of us get frustrated at times. Me personally, I have no issue with critical football critiques. I do have a problem when players are attacked personally. Calling someone a bum is not constructive IMHO. We will always have whipping boys if we lose (more of them if we lose), all teams have them.
