Khalil McKenzie was a BIG TIME prospect coming out of high school (Top 10 nationally by most services) and did well at Tennessee. I'm quite surprised he hasn't fared better in the NFL. I think the Bengals have a hidden gem in him
The good news is that their coaches have decided to start the rookie. That gives us a punchers chance. I firmly believe that they would have crushed us if Fitz was the starter. This is his team. Those players love him. Sometimes, coaches try to get too cute IMHO. Hey, I appreciate it!
Fitz is decisive about who he likes to throw the ball to, and knows when to tuck it and run.
Tua is a rookie that already lost his favorite target in Preston Williams. Parker and Gesicki can easily beat our secondary all day long, but now they have a rookie throwing it to them. That gives us a slight advantage.

Fitz would have carved us up.
So...you've forgotten about all the other rookies that have had their coming out party against the Bengals?
"The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."
Tua has been very efficient and effective as starting QB.. no Ints.. we will need to win turnover battle and win the special teams like last year give us a chance today especially with Allen having a start under his belt..
