No. Misdiagnosing phantom injuries is the inept part. Try and keep up, bfred.
As to the OP? Nice work, Wes. Interesting to see the facts laid out all in one post. I do think this part is extremely troubling...
In 2020, the average starting NFL guard made $5.85 million. The Bengals had five offensive guards on their roster in 2020. Combined, those five players made $5.55 million, according to Spotrac.
With Cincinnati paying five guards less than what the average starting offensive guard made in 2020, the Bengals allowed 48 sacks and rushed for just 4.1 yards per carry.
Especially when the absolute main focus should have been ensuring they protected their young franchise QB. It’s mind blowing they felt like they had done enough at OG. And boy did they pay for being wrong.
