The 1-11 season without Green and Green going Free Agent to another team is reason to PANIC !!!!
I would not call Tate another AJ Green anymore than I would call Finley another Peyton Manning.
We will have Boyd, Tate and Ross going into 2020, but do you stand pat with the same 1-11 players ??? Due to no Green or Ross, Boyd has been the #1 and Tate the #2. The team is struggling at #3 and #4 packages of others to get open and make plays.
I will say this for Taylor, he took over one big mess in Cincinnati. So many weaknesses on this team that have been piling up since 2015. The O Line needs help. The Defense needs help. The WR's need help. Not enough draft picks for all the weaknesses, and yet many think all this team needs is a new QB, WRONG. I'll be honest, with all these weak areas, they don't have the luxury of a QB pick. Which is why ALL MY BENGALS will probably go the Akili Smith route all over again. This Front Office never learns.
I like Tate, but it is a far reach to say he is a #1 WR and even more to say he is another Green. However I give him credit for playing. Tate took a heck of a hit in Oakland and he came right back, and Bengals could use a few more players that want to play this game, agents be d#mned.
