    Well, I don’t think you have to worry about that! Bengals getting blown out 21-3

      Running backs are replaceable and fungible, it's irresponsible to draft one in the first round when you have so many other holes. It's what dumb organizations like the Vikings, Panthers, and Giants do.
      Wow…. A lot of truth in what your saying. Truth that some don’t want to hear.

        I'd take JOK and Humphrey in the 1st and 2nd, regardless of where they were picked or mocked. They're both playing like top ten picks.

          And… seeing the bengals get as far as they got is even further proof of how valuable a legit play making franchise QB really is.

            Lots of Ben haters have been saying his play and contract has held Tomlin back.
            We Should be right back competing next year.
            How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?

                    Steel Maniac is the best contrary indicator I have ever seen.

                    if only he made stock market predictions we could all become rich!

                      Its not over until it’s over.
                      Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

                      I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

                          Yup … we were *ucked either way that game went. There is nothing to celebrate about thr team that won our division and has kicked our @ss 3 straight , now having a chance to win the super bowl.
                          But considering he’s one of the “ just a winning record is enough for me “ group, they don’t comprehend Super Bowls anymore

                              Winners always command more money. As I said before the NFL is set up to punish winners.

                                This is clearly not true.

                                You need a GOOD QB in a cheap deal to get into easy mode. But getting that QB is hard.

                                And sometimes you get the good QB but the timing of when he gets good ends up bad (like Buffalo).
