Madieu Superstar Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 3 fumbles. 0 lost. OMFGSOTURRIBLE I honestly don't think Gresham was anywhere close to bad last season. The passing game overall was fucking horrible, but Gresham had a number of decent drag the entire fucking team plays. Had a fantastic grab to give Andy his first fucking playoff TD ever. Was actually damn good from a blocking standpoint. Penalties were about the same as they always were with him. Get over it. People who want to replace him so bad, it doesn't make sense. Yes, lets spend another high pick on a fucking TIGHT END. That's such a stupid ass idea. This team didn't want to actually attempt to improve from Gresham in FA. I'll be disgusted if they waste another high pick on that position. You don't have to waste a high pick on another TE. For how often the TE is used in this offense, it doesn't make sense. Also, Gresham finished 2nd among TE's in fumbles last year. Once the ball is on the ground, its a crap shoot. He got lucky last year. Also, for all of the beast talk about Gresham, the metrics regarded him as 22.7% worse than the average TE. Those numbers are comparable to players like Ben Watson and Jeff Cumberland. I concur based upon watching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I seriously dont know how anyone could watch the hit he got in the back during that Steelers game and think he was 100%. I'm not surprised he needs back surgery at all. I am however disappointed he hasnt done it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatternMaster Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Can't wait until Gresham resigns for the vet minimum.....Pat Sims too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 I seriously dont know how anyone could watch the hit he got in the back during that Stealers game and think he was 100%. Yeah, and he apparently sat out the Cleveland game the week prior because he knew he was going to get blasted in the back a week later. It all makes sense now.

bengaled Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 And is the same reason he "gave up on his team and didn't play in the playoff game" lol yet looked to be 90-95% ready to go to those watching him warm up. REAL football players go ahead and play in that situation. they live for those moments, and it's what they play the game for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|schotzee| Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Seriously though, they need to find a viable replacement tight end and move on. Bringing him back would be status quo Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that's bullshit. Surgery is generally the last option. It amazes me how so many of you want a "player" to have surgery immediately on any injury, when there is almost zero chance you would let someone do immediate surgery on you.

How completely informed are you? The back injury occured during the first half of the regular season finale against Pittsburgh....a full week after Gresham pulled his own pud...err...plug against Cleveland. Edit: Two weeks after.

Sure back surgery is an easy decision when you are a blocking TE. Just let them cut on you. My guess would be during physical part as teams explore him as an option he isn't passing it significantly enough to convince them the injury can be healed via rehab. So as with a lot of injuries surgery is becoming an option. But we all hate Gresh so it's easier to keep that narrative that he quit vs Bengal failing to find and deal with an injury.

I've been seeing a Spine Specialist for the last year. He's been trying to talk me into back surgery and I keep telling him to eat shit. (I've heard too many horror stories about it) This guy was a surgeon in the military and told me he's put guys back together that were in a lot worse shape than myself. Still won't let him do it!

Oh, so new information is introduced about his injury and the playoff game months later from a source outside the team.

|schotzee| Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Did he say something to the team like, I know you guys say I'm good to go , but seriously , something isn't right with my back.

I'm sure they had some kind of fucking conversations. What are you expecting right now? What would satisfy you bro? I don't think there was a fucking stenographer recording the conversations between Gresh and the trainers, so I'm pretty sure you're gonna leave the thread disappointed, still thinking he's a pussy.
