But when I look at just skills I see an elite WR in A J Green. I am not saying he is the best. I am not going to get into a much too complicated argument over the efficiency and production of all the top WRs. Green just has to stay healthy. When he is healthy he is an elite talent.
Talent wise, i would put his against anyone...that has ever played the game.
Production isn't really his fault. Since he's been in the league, Dalton has the 9th most attempts and 10th most completions and AJ has been targeted the 5th most of any WR in that time. The problem wasn't Marv...

Sorry, but when you're 30+, an injury is never a blessing. Even in disguise.

Anything torn in the lower ankle for sure means surgery,I know I been there and done that,they do not fix themselves,have to repair it under the knife.So so sad,there goes ZTs wonderful so-called season.That will cost us at least 3 games so here we go to 6 and 10 again and the players will be so bummed,ZT will have to be a genius to keep this team together.just my thoughts

We legitimately need Bo Jackson to come to Cincinnati and tell us he lifts the curse. There is no way a franchise can be so unlucky for so long.

A second opinion on a sprained ankle? Wow..now THAT'S showing confidence in the first doctor if ever there was such a thing.. I almost can envision, "Prep him for amputation STAT! before gangrene sets in!"
That's my version of confidence in Bengals good fortune..

That's not necessarily true. I tore a ligament in my ankle playing basketball and it was able to heal on it's own through about a month of physical therapy. They can definitely fix themselves. For a WR he may be back in 6-8 weeks but I don't think he'll be fully back and it might be a bother all season.

Well when they say that a player is "dinged" and then they're out for the year it makes you wonder for everything they report.

Saw the video, Dre over did that play. His self-esteem is low. Guy played as if he was playing in the super bowl trying to INT, and landed all over the field doing so. He was probably afraid to have been called a flop here at the boards again by a magnificent catch by AJ in a meaningless practice. If only he would play like that against the squeelers instead. Even if you throw a pass directly at Dre its gonna flop out of his hands.
