It’s hard to believe this is even a question. At one point it seemed like a foregone conclusion that AJ would pass Chad in both YDS and TD’s. But sadly AJ has just not been anywhere near as durable as Chad was. This could very well be AJ’s final season as a Bengal, so I think it’s unlikely he passes Chad for franchise receiving yds (he needs over 1700 more), but the TD record is still within reach. AJ needs 4 more to pass Chad. AJ’s lowest TD total for any season is 4. But it’s been a pretty rough start for him so far this season.
So what do you think, does he do it?

I think he can do it, but I don't think he will get the yards. Unless something changes (which is possible, still plenty of football left) I am not expecting A.J. to be a Bengal next season.

If he stays healthy all year, I think he’ll do it.

I'm calling it now. HIGGINS will be the leader in TDs when all is said and done and will be the best Bengal WR ever...

I'd say yes. But I'd also say this is his final season in stripes.

What do you think? He needs 1 more to tie and 2 to break it. Going to be close. I think he comes up just short* like Dunlap did with the sack record.
*assuming he’s gone after this season.

Looked like he and Allen were beginning to hit it off, then Allen gets hurt. If Thinley plays from here on out, I highly doubt it.

Finley has no business ever starting another NFL game. If Allen is out Kevin Hogan should be in there.

AJ needs 2 more TDs to pass Chad's record.
With just 3 games remaining, two of which are against PIT and BAL, I doubt he passes it.
He may tie it though.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Ah you’re correct. I counted Chad’s one TD in NE.

idk either thats a time will tell thing...
But im just thinking in a league moving towards pass happy and burrows arm/touch if the two stay together a long time they could put up some big numbers....
Boyd might have something to say about it too lol
All depends on getting a good coach though

I love Boyd but there’s zero chance he goes down as the best WR in Bengals history.

I was more addressing Tony’s prediction of Tee (and your mention of Boyd) becoming the best Bengals WR ever. Stats will become inflated, but I don’t think anyone would argue Dalton was better than Anderson for example.
