The Patriots are the team that knows how to use a multi-dimensional RB like Rex. He'll be a star there and Marv will look stupid for not using him. The Bengals are behaving like a punch drunk fighter who doesn't know he's in the ring. They're looking at drafting a RB without fixing the O-line, yet have RBs but don't want to sign or extend them. On one hand here we have the SB champions with cap space to spend and using it wisely, and on the other we have the Bengals artificially reducing their own cap space and they can't seem to get anything done. Wow!

It sucks, yes he is replaceable but will he be? What a perfect fit for him. I'm going to cringe watching him play like a pro bowler while Hill continues to struggle for 1 yard. Happy for him. BB will show Marvin how to use a player like him. Must be nice to just win the SB and still be aggressive in FA like a team that hasn't won a playoff game in 30 damn years.

We on this board are biased for sure. I would like to see some impartial opinions from outside our circle as to what clear-thinking football people say about the way this franchise approaches professional football. I can no longer be even a little objective.

Here's the last paragraph of the following article: http://www.cincyjungle.com/2017/3/12/14888242/bengals-free-agency-game-give-take Quote:The Bengals seemingly enter free agency knowing they'll have a worse roster after it's over. Their main objecting in free agency is to minimize the level of “worseness” that their roster undergoes, hoping they can get back to where they started through their draft picks. This strategy makes it difficult for a team to ever get better. Rather it is a perpetual mechanism of sameness which slowly bleeds the roster dry.

Special teams guys should be at cheap, and at least serviceable in their positions. Peerman is a terrible RB, and costs too much.

Well, what do you expect from a rebuild? I called most FA's walking and the rebuild had begun over a month ago. Most people here replied no way. Well way.
Who Dey!

Somehow I missed this seeing this earlier... Their loyalty to Hill who fumbled away the playoff loss and who has digressed since his rookie year is just mindblowing. ****in Bengals I swear.
Anyways good for Rex. As long as he will be healthy, he should be a solid weapon in Brady's offense. Patriots making solid moves since last Thursday, Bengals doing squat unless Andre counts. Ffs they just won the SB too! lol sigh “Don't give up. Don't ever give up.” - Jimmy V

I cant agree at all with your post.. first Gio has performed better than Rex so to act like Rex has been just passed over it just flat wrong.. also Hill had a great rookie year.. suppar last two years but still scored over 20 TDS i believe... so it is not like we have not done well with RBs.. and we extended Gio.. I can understand being upset at losing Rex but your facts just don;t fit well.. also you might as well compare the Patriots with 90 percent of the league not just the Bengals.. they are beating all the teams not just the Bengals...

I can see the argument that people are being drama queens, but you have to realize we saw a lot of "addition by subtraction" last year and we were rewarded with an offense that went from 4th to 26th and a win total from 12 to being lucky to get 6. Optimism blew up in our faces last year, so some dread is only natural.

The fact that a team like the Patriots, who recognize talent better than most teams, makes a play for one of your players should make you think that you have someone who can certainly contribute to your team. In his limited action, Burkhead did very well. It's not like he would have cost the Bengals big bucks and they would fill a need be keeping him as well.

Optimism blew up in our faces last year, so some dread is only natural. I can see both sides of this argument, but it is important to remember a few things about the off-season moves. 1) Zeitler was never coming back. The team said it from day one, and he said it after the last game. So, it was a bad move but a move we knew was coming. 2) Peko was wanted but probably not for the money he got and to be fair the way this board bangs on him, not sure why people cared? I did want him back, but not at the price Denver paid. 3) Whit was a crushing blow. This move flat out sucked...no other way to describe it. This move is the shit show of the off-season. 4) Hunt was not wanted by anyone on this board and him leaving should not be viewed as a big deal. The bitching should be about him being a 2nd round pick in the first place. 5) Rex was never coming back. He was a 3rd string guy who the Bengals valued as a wildcard but they are already looking at RBs in a very good RB draft. Burkhead went to the right place for him, he is a rotational guy, not an every down guy. Having Gio, Hill and a guy like Fournette and where was Rex going to play?? The issues with this off-season is the lack of preparation or back-up plans the team has had for losing a Whit or letting Zeitler go. That is what is a real kick in the ass. |
