Meanwhile? Have we given up on Bernard and Hill? Can we ration minutes for 3 RBs in the era where you use one ball carrier at a time? .
This..... is a leap of faith. Hey..... Burfict was a undrafted because he racked up penalties.
He IS a STAR. then..... Manziel.....you CAN screw up the golden opportunity. The Bengals DID vet Mixon. Clues are he learned something.
Valid points on 3 running backs, but seems to be the trend of the NFL right now. But, the bigger issue is Bernard likely will not be 100% in 2017 as he recovers form major knee surgery. Add in Hill's rookie contract ends in 2017 and makes the pick not only smart for now, but for the future.
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.
