If I was hired from the outside as the new head coach, I would release every single one of these players that were laughin and jokin around, assuming it was true. Then start rebuilding on those positions first and foremost with players that want to have a winning attitude.

@PhilHos - What does that say about the organization, though, that so many REASONABLE fans believed this story to be tre?
Heh. I can’t speak for them! @Pat5775 – Dalton is up after 2020. So, it’ll be a while. And he would never ask for a trade. @R3Stangs - But it doesn't appear that they're too upset about it. That’s not really the case. I think Dan Hoard and Dave Lapham, team employees, said it best today on the radio. This reporter singled out Burfict, the only player by name, and “others.” Remember last year the “I hate Pittsburgh” headline Burfict created? That was literally the only words he said to the media that entire week, to a Pittsburgh reporter, as he walked to the training room. He refused to speak to anyone this week, and he refused to speak to anyone post game. But if this Pittsburgh writer said he saw this, chances are Burfict saw him. So you can draw your own conclusions as to how that all went down. Trust me – I was in there, for the entire period we’re allowed. It was not a jovial, happy place. @BMK et al. – sideline demeanor Again, I can’t speak to that (we don’t see the broadcast). What I will say is that, clearly, it’s bad optics. I will also say this, which kind of goes back to the post-loss “mood” or whatever you want to call it. Every person is different. Let’s be real: let’s say they’re laughing on the sidelines and it’s captured on TV. Then they win the game. Then it’s, hey, wow, look how loose they were – they weren’t tight at all and that’s why they won. A guy in the media room said it best: The winner controls the narrative. Pittsburgh says what they want, when they want, about who they want, because that’s what the hammer gets to do to the nail. Every time. So, until the Bengals get over the Steelers things with this group, it is what it is. All I can do is help answer some of these other questions or offer some insight.

If you were getting paid millions regardless of whether you win or lose and know that you will still get huge offers from other teams despite losing wouldn't you be laughing as well?
As fans we want to believe that 'our players' care about our team, but the truth is the ONLY THING they really care about is how much money they can make. Every one of them with no exceptions can become free agents and go to other teams and do the exact same thing in any town. It's not as if they're all recuited from the local high schools and colleges and have any skin in the game for the greater Cincinnati area and very few even establish any real residence in the area.. Once you realize that they do not represent your home town the quicker you stop caring what they do on or off the field.

Lamar needs some polish on his pass game, IMO. He'll get killed at this level if he runs that much. Baker is good, has some character concerns, and now has a shoulder injury doesn't he? IDK, something about him doesn't sit right with me....plus Big 12 or whatever the hell it's called now, doesn't really impress me much. "Better send those refunds..."

Lamar won't run as much when he's on a team that isn't Louisville. He almost always looks to throw first on non- designed run plays. Dropped passes, bad OL...Lamar is also incredibly good at avoiding hits.
This is Mike Vick level stuff. Rare ability. Was hurt vs Texas. Played the next game. He plays like Romo (who is criminally underrated because Dallas was actually bad most of the time while he was there). He scorched Ohio State...so there's that and that isn't big 12. They both can play from within a structure and out of it. That's what makes them special talents, to me. If Baker were 3 inches taller he'd be called a top 5 pick by now.

Even Mike Vick started to deteriorate after a few seasons, Cam. If he takes a cue from his predecessor, he may be ok. Teddy ran as a last ditch effort, and was successful at it when he needed to be. Bridgewater always struck me as a guy that made very smart decisions with the ball, and was just as cerebral as he was talented. I don't get that feeling from Jackson, not yet. I think a senior season would do him well, but that's just me, and I'm not looking at the prospects of all that cash! I'm not that impressed with OSU either, fwiw. "Better send those refunds..."

Lamar's deep ball is the biggest issue in his passing game. I think he'd be best to get away from Petrino in a hurry. You can not be impressed all you want, but if you look at what Mayfield does on that team it is so impressive. I'd take Baker over Darnold (LOL) or Eli Rosen any day of the week. |
