Keeping our enemies close: 2024
T-Dub replied to SF2's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
One can only hope. -
If the powers that be want to have a conversation about how social media algos are being written & why, across the board, that's a different conversation. Or if we're worried about China "influencing" us, anyone else familiar with the OceanWide Plaza mess in DTLA? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanwide_Plaza Would love to see the feds turn a team of forensic accountants loose on that shit. Or just seize it, but they won't, because Chinese influence 💰💰💰

That's exactly what it is about. All this moralizing shit is just a weak excuse, it's about as valid as comic books causing juvenile delinquency in the 50's or the Satanic Panic of the 80's. If China is such a threat maybe we shouldn't be dependent on them for anything that runs on electricity.

Free Agency 2024

At the college level. He won't get by just being bigger than everyone in the NFL. -

QB offseason 2024
T-Dub replied to MichaelWeston's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
He's missed time because he's being hit more than any other QB in the NFL when he's active. They need to fix the problem, not stock up on bandages. -

My impression is either heavily medicated or legit a couple wontons short of a pu pu platter. Or both. -
If you think death threats using TikTok are a valid reason to ban it just wait until you hear what people have done with telephones or pen & paper.

2024 NFL Mock Draft
T-Dub replied to Arkansas Bengal's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
Like we'd made a sidegrade at best at RT based on his stats, if not downgraded, and why are we benching Volson for a rookie before they even get to camp? -
2024 NFL Mock Draft
T-Dub replied to Arkansas Bengal's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
Sure, and I suppose some really are that. It's when they start talking about how no one in the NFL will be able to cover/block/tackle them etc that you have to worry. John Ross was going to run by everyone, until he got hit & reminded everyone it's a full-contact sport and not a track meet. Like I find myself saying every year around draft time, just about every player in the NFL was Billy Badass in college. Most of them are JAG at the next level. -

Only the Stealers could cut a first round pick after all of 24 starts, replace him with a completely washed Russel Wilson (who Denver couldn't wait to dumpster despite owing a ton of money & having no solid starter in his place) only to have some ESPN jackass try to spin that as the two shrewdest QB moves the NFL has seen in years. I suppose it's not quite Deshaun Watson to Cleveland stupid, but WTF? Should someone explain to Mike Greenberg that "shrewdest" doesn't mean "most resembling this thing"? Whenever he gets done huffing Steeler taint, I mean. -

2024 NFL Mock Draft
T-Dub replied to Arkansas Bengal's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
Oh is Bowers this year's "THE NFL ISN'T READY!!" pre-draft Hall of Fame candidate that's going to score 11 TDs a game & change the sport forever? Narrator voice: "The NFL, as it turns out, was in fact ready." -
Random 2024 Bengals related stuff
T-Dub replied to Jamie_B's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
They've made some good additions but as you point out have yet to address the two biggest roster needs. Fact is this was an average team last year, as their record shows. It's great if people want to hype them up but some of that list was complete nonsense. -

"A competent OL protecting him" They haven't had a competent OL in 10+ years who are we kidding -
Free Agency 2024
T-Dub replied to Montana Bengal's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
They'd rather carry that guy on the roster than spend a 5th round draft pick. It's puzzling. -

He's just a fatter Jonah. A backup that thinks he should start. Oddly, the Bengals seem to love losing seasons to these types on the OL. -

Still think any AFCN team would win that division, but I'd say that about most of them. -

T-Dub replied to SF2's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
He might get that with a better OL. I think this team was looking for more explosive plays & the chance to score from anywhere on the field, not just goal-to-go situations. -
Keeping our enemies close: 2024
T-Dub replied to SF2's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
I question whether 1k yards & 8-10 TD's actually are worth $10M+/year. Half the starting backs in the NFL were in that range last season. Only 6 of them were pulling down more than his $8.5M & that was on a reduced deal. Unless they plan on being a run-first team with him as the feature back for the next 3 years I don't see paying him $27M+ over that span. I don't think 1k & 10 TD's a year can carry an offense even if he does play out the full contract. -
2024 NFL Mock Draft
T-Dub replied to Arkansas Bengal's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
I'd say because they know his value.. If he's not going to play here they want to get something towards replacing him. However if they were listening to trade offers, his speaking out about it might have ended negotiations. The public didn't need to know, that's a bad look. Higgins vs TN 2023 postseason ^ that's immediate WR1 on, say, 20 teams at least? I think that's worth a first round pick even with the veteran contract he's earned. Having forced their hand though my bet's on reporting halfway through camp and then balling out, maybe another tag but with a trade already in place. I wouldn't rule out an extension yet either once reality sets in. -
RB Offseason 2024
T-Dub replied to MichaelWeston's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
Smiles aside, if the reaction to someone running across your suburban back yard is to go outside and start blasting at shadows.. Even if he had legit death threats (over what, I wonder?) wouldn't the smart, reasonable thing be to stay inside and lock the doors? I'm not anti-gun by any stretch & I don't even have a huge problem with someone owning an AK "pistol" as a collector/hobbyist, but to let his ex-con BIL wild out with it like Scarface... To me that points to some serious bigger issues behind the scenes. That is not normal behavior, he or at the very least the people around him are caught up in some bullshit. Family or not it's his house and his name on the line, to let that mess happen when he was already under a microscope from the road rage thing (if that was even real IDK).. Anyway we've been over this before, I'm just relieved he's someone else's problem now. I'd enjoy watching him go off for Houston & put whatever that was behind him. -
RB Offseason 2024
T-Dub replied to MichaelWeston's topic in THE BENGALS FORUM - For Bengals Fans *Only*
Considering they ran the ball less than any team except Washington last year - even with a backup QB - I think you're right that they don't put a high value on the position. It'd make sense that they primarily want RBs to block & catch.
