I'm not sure any QB could have made it work last season in the playoffs with the skill group we ran out there. No TE, Burkhead at WR and so on. Plus Hill left after halftime. Ironically the Bengals played the Steelers the prior week and each team injured the other one to the extent that they could not win their playoff game.
In any event, that is all in the past. Right now we have things to be encouraged about. Like having Eifert back seemingly 100% - the lack of a reliable outlet target not to mention lack of a player suited to attack the middle of the field was huge last season. Unfortunately no Marvin Jones yet but if he is back that gives us our vertical threat back. I want to see this offense when Hue actually has all the pieces - which he has not yet had in his tenure.
