I just can't call it a "$20 million throw" and give 100% of the blame to A.J., Andy could have definitely put it in a better place for him. The defender also made a good play on it, can't discredit him for that.
If Manning, Luck, Rodgers makes the exact same throw, who gets more blame, the QB or the receiver?
The 20 million was a bit over the top, but I do expect a WR making $500K to make that catch, I feel no excuse for a man soon to make 14 to 15 million a year to drop that ball. Again, in the interview AJ admitted he had poor awareness and why he did not go hard after the ball. A pro like AJ should have seen the coverage and knew the safety had to be close by.
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.
