Which Bill isn’t being talked about enough for this upcoming season that you expect to have a real good year?

They all look like me.

So for the business side of it....why does he have to go to PS first?

These are insane stats. Wow! Almost 30 years since the leading rusher was a Super Bowl winner is crazy.

I think the only thing that would hold him back is his injury. Mentally I think he will be fine.

He is an 8 year vet…he won’t need a lot of time to ramp up. I think he starts week 1.

We have our new MLB

Yep. In the last 3 seasons excluding this years, the Bengals had two top 5 pick’s including #1 overall.

You just want to get rescued by a fireman with big arms and a thick mustache.

Very glad for him. Just imagine the stress of being a 2nd round pick and being a starter on a playoff team. The future looked bright for him probably from his perspective. Then a few years later, he's barely hanging on a 53. This is a tough business and he's seeing it.

Stefon Diggs could walk into Applebees and pull attractive women.

Hendrickson is the 3rd highest paid DE. Only Maxx Crosby and Myles Garrett make more per year. Hendrickson is not a bargain FA. We have had bargain FA's that became grand slams for us too....Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer immediately come to mind.

The Cowboys have hit on their last 3 first round picks. Smith, Parson and Lamb. I don't know much about Washington but Johan Dotson was a great pick.

Well you have to have context too. They hit on Burrow and Chase with the #1 and #5 overall draft pick. We haven't had that high of a draft pick with Beane accept the trade up for Allen at #7 in 2018. You expect to get an elite impact player in the top 5. Here's the 1st pick order between both teams in the last 3 years. The Bengals last 3 drafts....#35, #5 and #1. Our last 3 drafts....#54, #30 and #23. I didn't count this year for any team because they haven't played yet.

Of the 595 players designated as such, the results reveal the following: - Nearly 30% of all starters were 1st round draft picks when drafted into the league; - Roughly 30% were taken in either the 2nd or 3rd round; - Roughly 26% were taken in either rounds 4 through 7; - Undrafted players (14%) were the 3rd most likely group to comprise 2014’s starters…only behind 1st round (30%) and 2nd round (18%) picks.

I think the point is they are a billion dollar organization and these players are the ones who put fans in the seats and buy their jerseys....you can't give them free Gatorade? When I was in college, a mid major school, I didn't have to pay for Gatorade, gum, sunflower seeds, granola bars etc....

There was a former player that said the Cardinals would subtract the cost of shipping from your contract when they delivered it to you. Your signing bonus is $5 million...actually it's $4,995,000 because of the $5 for the stamp.

There's more levels than impact and then average. I agree that we haven't had a ton of impact players but we have a lot of good players, average players and some poor.

Singletary, Phillips and Knox all played a lot. Most 3rd rounders do not start and are mostly back ups.

OMG the stuff people say. He's Stefon Diggs, a professional elite athlete who is on a $120 million dollar contract. Those guys aren't limited.

Hunt has been averaging like 120 carries a year in the last 6 years and you throw out you "don't think" he would get 300 carries? Are you wanting us to be the most run heavy team where the back up to give Cook a relief is in the ball park of 300 carries?

What evidence is there to back up that Kareem Hunt is still a good every down back? You want to dress 4 running backs on game day?

Great. I didn't say were are close to that advanced yet, I even said 50,000 years in my original OP. How much as medicine advanced in the last 20 years? In 49,980 years we won't advance dramatically more? We won't go above cockroach level? It was just an interesting topic I decided to make at thread about. Everyone but you came in this thread like an angry teen with a chip on his shoulder.

https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2023/3/2/23621851/nfl-team-report-cards-jaguars-rat-infestation Cincinnati is hell for player families Despite being one of the best teams in the NFL, the Bengals treat their players like second-rate citizens compared to the rest of the league. The team ranked 27th overall, and while the training staff got high marks, the team tied for last place in how their families were treated. Not only do children and significant others not have a dedicated family room to watch from during games, subjecting them to the cold — but several players note how horrible it’s been for wives with babies. “The players who responded to the survey also complained that there is nowhere warm and safe for mothers and kids to go during the game because the Bengals do not provide a family room, unlike the majority of teams. Players reported that wives have sat on the public restroom floor to nurse their babies.” That’s wrong beyond comprehension. https://stripehype.com/posts/national-pundits-continue-take-shots-bengals-owner-mike-brown However, none of this absolves the Bengals of their shortcomings. They have grades of F, F-, and D- in the treatment of families, nutrition, and training room categories, respectively. The organization should absolutely look into improving those areas. Each team in the bottom half of the list should contact the Vikings and ask what they are doing, how they are doing it, and how much it costs to implement. Then the teams that rank low should figure out how to improve conditions in a way that will work for them and the players. Nevertheless, it would appear that no matter how successful the Bengals are on the field or which team du jour is below them in these sorts of rankings, for most outside of Cincinnati, the Bengals can only change their stripes but so much. Even though from the looks of this report card, there are a few teams who look more penny-pinching in this report, the Bengals will likely remain the face of the “cheap” organization in the eyes of the national pundits. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/feb/07/cincinnati-bengals-owner-mike-brown-nfl-super-bowl “We didn’t have bottled water or Gatorade and when we first got it, guys would be taking bottles of Gatorade home,” former Bengals wide receiver TJ Houshmandzadeh told Colin Cowherd in 2018. “The year before I got there, Willie Anderson was telling me they didn’t even have jockstraps. They would get a bunch of used jockstraps and throw them in the middle of the locker room and say ‘Here you go’”. https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/bengals-joe-burrow-contract-01h64p99v6g8 Bengals owner Mike Brown probably doesn't feel that way as the guy who has to cut the checks. At the very least he did not sound particularly optimistic about the idea that the Bengals would pay up to keep the band together. When asked how the Bengals were going to manage the financial side of things Brown chose to explain how the salary cap works before stating that the nature of the cap means they're going to come up short in some negotiations.

Thank you for correcting me. I thought Brian Cox was a world renowned Physicist and a Professor at the University of Manchester. But he's only a Software Engineer. He has no business talking about anything related to physics and definitely below you in this topic.
