Look sled21 there is still a pattern here, William Jackson the 3rd was healthy and they chose to shelve him for the year for guess who, Cedric Peerman lol. I know you love Marvin Lewis, but he has been securing his job for next year, at the expense of us competing this year, for too long. Marvin is selfish, he is only concerned with another extension, not winning. Who in the world would bench there #1 draft pick CB 6 games into the season, for a 3rd or 4th string non essential running back lol. Heres a little of the article of Marvin explaining why he did what he did. Giovani Bernard's season-ending knee injury also ended the season for first-round draft pick William Jackson III, as the Cincinnati Bengals decided to designate running back Cedric Peerman as their player to return off injured reserve in 2016.
"It's a tough decision, but one we just felt was best for the football team," Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis said.
That was the message Lewis conveyed to his rookie corner.
"Just saying it was team needs," Jackson III told The Enquirer. "Gio went down and needed a guy and Ced is a great special teams guy so he can come in and do good. So, I just need to roll with the punches." You get it? Marvin is not trying to win now because he sucks, you can give him the Falcons from last year and they would go 8 and 8. Its always next year and never now.
No, you're wrong. I despise Marvin Lewis with every fiber of my being right now. But to me there are more than plenty of legitimate gripes without making up ridiculous ones. There's not a coach or doctor in the league that would have let AJ finish out the season and risk his career.
