right some teams can afford to carry an injured player... Like we could afford to carry Cedric Ogbuehi when we drafted him hurt cause Whit was still under contract.

And drafting Tom Brady in the 5th round would have helped the Bengals.  So why not bash our front office for that terrible decision?

It would have been good if we had signed Barrett, but I am not going to bash our front office when 30 other teams were not even interested in him.

Antonio Bryant re-injured himself after the Bengals signed him.  Bryant returned from his injury and played the final 6 weeks  of the '09 season including a 91 yard game against the Falcons and a 116 yard game against the Panthers.

You can't go from that level to not even being able to step on the practice field without some new injury.

Unless we were super close to drafting Brady and changed our minds over an injury that very likely didn’t exist that’s not much of a comparison.

But hey, welcome back and congrats on getting off of double secret probation!
