Zac can not be measured as a Coach by what I see on the field!
How does it get fixed considering what we know about how the Bengals operate?
I love AJ Green, but will he add enough for us to win games? Can we win playoff games before he is done with football?
Can we get enough for him to be traded? Will we resign him?
Same questions really about Atkins and Dunlap?
Is Andy Dalton good enough at QB? I doubt the Bengals should pay him another contract.
Linebackers - really where should the team go with this? Pratt did not look good Sunday and we know how the rest of the group is.
Cornerback play, can they hold up with better QB pressure?
Really where do we go from here?
Will Zac play Finley at some point this season? Can he be an NFL starter? Moving money from QB to other positions may help?
It appears that the team has needs in so many areas that it is unlikely to be fixed by next season.
What positions do you feel they will try to address in the draft? Who will they target? Is Tua really the best QB coming out? He plays for a team that has so much talent, does it make him look better than what he is?
Why did they extend Gio?
I would be surprised if Mike Brown trades any players for draft picks. I think it would be wise, but not usually how they operate.
If a first rounder is offered for AJ - I pull the trigger!
Some rumors that there is interest in Eifert - Make the trade!
One more year on Dalton's contract and he is UFA - get something for him! I don't feel Andy is the problem, but he contributes. He makes enough mistakes that can cost games and he will not elevate the team. Is he worth 17.5 Million next year with all the other holes - NO
Cut Dunlap - need the money
Some pretty good OT in this draft
CB pretty good in this draft
QB pretty good in this draft
DE/Dt also pretty good
I feel like the following will happen!
If offered a first round pick for AJ, they will make this trade. Even the Brown's can't screw that up.
Eifert will not go as no team will offer much, but a 4th or 5th would force them to pull the trigger
Finley plays at some point this season. Maybe 2 or 3 games. He does not play well enough for them to cut Andy. They will draft a QB in first round and he will sit behind Andy next year. Andy will leave the following year as a UFA.
They will once again sign some cast offs or older guys to fill holes
We will win 5 or 6 games next year!
What say you Board. How does this get fixed?
Just looking for some opinions
What I would do - even though most of you don't care -
Trade AJ - get what you can - First rounder would be nice, but 2nd and 3rd, or 2nd and 4th would be a go.
Trade Eifert - Take whatever picks you can get - you should not resign him
Try to use Dunlap, Atkins, Kirkpatrick, Dalton or any asset you can get something for in draft day trades.
Draft the trenches - O-line and D-line is what makes us not competitive. Hell Jacoby is winning in Indy with a good line.
I would again not go after free agents yet. Need another year to improve - but the following season you need to add a couple impact guys.
We look Old and Slow on the field - have to get younger - Give Zac Taylor a 2 year window after this season. If he is not the answer gone after his 3rd year.
What say you board? How does this get fixed? What is the answer?
I went back and watched the ravens game again and what stands out to me and has for many many years is the ravens players are huge and very strong and with muscles,not fat,especially their lines,defense and offense,Every year most teams have bigger,stronger and faster players than we do.I mean ,some of those offensive linemen were 6ft 8 and 340 with muscle,not fat.OUr players looked like a bunch of school kids going against their daddys, It was so embarrassing to watch our d-line just getting manhandled by much bigger and stronger and FASTER LINEMen than we could ever have.Once again its about drafting players that can matchup against this,especially in our division,the steelers have guys the same and so does the browns,we draft the WRONG PLAYERS,and never address our lines the right way.If you watch how the ravens lines just manhandled our guys and our lines looked like little kids out there.Go watch how stupid our guys looked with no pass rush,and no way to beat this team. :paul: :paul: :paul: :paul: :paul:
LB a little weak in draft
