At least the Browns will be able to run the ball this season.

Bengaldom should just own it this year, and have a whole stadium wearing "4th in the North" t shirts. I didn't coin the phrase, but I like it.... embarrass the front office with them all over tv....

If someone is measuring the ability of a Bengals' player by Pro Bowl appearances, that person doesn't know shit about the Bengals.

I know. I doubt he got a Pro Bowl nod during his rookie contract, but was too lazy to look it up.

I hate the browns probably equal to Pitt, so I hope it's not true, but they're going to be a different team next year. If they get a franchise type QB...

The browns drafted 5 WRs in last years draft and their best WR turned out to be Terrelle Pryor....who they let go in FA this season. I'm not sweating the browns yet. They always figure out a way to screw it up.

I don't care who they let go, why they let them go or who they sign. This owner and coach, at best, will produce another one-and-done season this year. Odds are, they won't even do that. And they won't get an ounce of anger out of me this season because, while i'll be there to watch, i'll drop them like a bad habit as soon as they start screwing up again and go find something else to do with my random Sunday.

p.s. not tryin to be a Debbie Downer of this thread, its just sort of where the state of Millhouse is.

This is exactly how I feel. A switch flipped in me at some point last season. Honestly, life is better this way. I feel about the Bengals how Peter did about Initech after the hypnosis.

The mention of no Pro Bowls for Zeitler was in relation to him now being the Highest paid Guard in NFL History Einstein. Zeitler is a very solid Guard but we are talking about an ALL Time highest Guard Contract here. He is not the Best Guard in the NFL right now and definitely not the Best All Time. Cleveland had a ton of money to spend to reach the minimum spending requirement and made sure they outbid 31 other teams.

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.

I realize that and Whitworth's Pro Bowl snubs didn't affect his ability to play. So once again, measuring ability by Pro Bowl appearance is a poor yardstick. Especially for the Bengals.

I'm measuring the CONTRACT. Highest Paid Guard of All Time. Zeitler may have borderline Pro Bowl ability but does not have ALL Time Highest Guard Contract abilities.

Zeitler's contract was insane, and the Bengals would have been insane to match it.

Three years from now Zeitler's contract won't even be in the top 10 for his position.

If you want to argue his ability, fine. Then don't measure his ability by Pro Bowl appearances.
