Earl,

Bengals really fucked up letting Reader go.

Never recuperated from it.

If they have a shot at Mason Graham in Rd 1 they

would improve over this year.

Kris Jenkins and Graham gives the line a  solid start to build on

 

It doesn't take many scouts to know Graham is special .

If Tobin passed on him then we know he's a failure.

It is more likely we see a dead cat bounce which would take us out of any chance of getting Graham.

Not so sure.

I think he falls to us.

Whether they draft him is another story.

Like I said, if he is and they don't Tobin is worthless evaluating top priorities for the team 

[Randle P McMurphy]

If they're picking in the top 10 they need to trade back and get more picks regardless.  (Not that I really have any faith in 

them hitting on draft picks!), but the more picks they have, the better chance they hit on one!  lol  This team has too many

holes to fill.  It's not like they're one top 10 pick away from competing and we all know how the F.O. operates when it comes

to FA's.  They wait and go after tier 2 or tier 3 FA's and hope for the best!  😡  Besides, after giving Chase a giant contract,

(IF they don't screw that up!), and redoing Hendrickson's contract, (he only has a little over $2 million guaranteed next year

and he's going to want more guaranteed!), they're going to say they don't have the cap space to do anything else!

York should be in camp with us next year and compete. This is a decent scenario in general. I hope they bring in a rookie as well. 

I've seen this guy kick in Cleveland, and the fact that my son said "Good luck with that" and laughed at the signing tells me all I need to know.

 

Just no. 

[Bleeds Orange]

Cade York looked fine tonight. Let's say he makes all the kicks he supposed to over the next three games, the Bengals win all three to get to 8-8, and are in the playoff hunt (yeah, slim chance, I know) heading into the final game at Pittsburgh. McPherson is eligible to come off IR, says he feels good, and wants to play. Do you sit York down and use McPherson, instead?

York did his job.

Beyond that, he's risky.

Hope he does well.

[|High School Harry|]

I hope he does well here.

At the end of the season we will be able to trade him

before we cut him to a team in need of a kicker who doesn't think he will

fall to them on the waiver wire.

Kinda like they traded Jake Browning to a QB needy team last offseason for a 2nd round pick?

C'mon man!

McPherson will be back

More like trading Joe Mixon to another team rather than cutting him

and throwing him to the Waiver Wolves who would not have let him drop

to the Texans.

 

Still think there was more to the Mixon story than Joe Baggadonuts fans knows.

Kind of like Sheldon Rankins's mystery virus.

BTW I wasn't insinuating that you thought we get a 2nd but even still.  Mixon had 7 years with

around 6,000 rushing yards and 49 TD's and all we got was a 7th.  York was a 4th round pick

dumped by Cleveland of all teams after 1 season.  He'd have to have a run like McPherson did

his rookie season the rest of this season to have any trade value and I don't see that happening.

Even after going 2-2 last night, he's still only hit 50% of his FG tries this year.  (He was 0-2 in Washington)

OK, agree and its all good.

Just if he looks good enough the last four games

maybe we can get a 7th for him.  Or not.  I dunno...

Would be nice if he landed somewhere.

Now that I think about it, he's a FA at the end of the year anyways so there goes that!  lol

[UncleEarl]

York get a tryout.  If he does well you bring him to camp to compete with McPherson.  See what happens.  Easy.

He'd be an exclusive rights free agent, ie one the Bengals can hold the rights to simply by offering him the minimum salary.

It's worth noting that if York had gone 3 for 4 instead of 4 for 4 on field goal attempts tonight, the Bengals would have lost. Despite nearly costing them the game last week, I'd still  invite him to camp to serve notice to McPherson that the team is serious about having a kicker that can make field goals, and is not content to miss the playoffs because of it again.

I would just release McPhearson,and sign York to a contract.He's kicked good enough,to be on the team.

IMO, the jury is still out on him. Keep in mind, he lost his job to Dustin Hopkins in Cleveland, and Hopkins is abysmal. I give him props for making 4 FGs last night in Acrisure, which is a tough place to kick, but none of them were really long. I know, he made a 59 yarder last week, but he missed an easier one also. I’m hoping that McPherson’s injury gives him time to get rid of his yips.

I'd like to see a replay of the botched kick off.

I still don't know what happened.

 

I Back the Mac and hope York becomes the next Fat Randy and

makes a lot of bucks from a number of other desperate teams for

years to come.

McPherson isnt going anywhere

lmfao.

 

york is 11/15 in his career from 30-39 yards.

mcpherson is 8/8 this year and 22/22 for his career.

mcpherson is 13/15 under 50 yards this season.. 

 

fans acting like he sucks because he missed some 50+ yarders this season is ridiculous.

 

york is CLEARLY WAY WAY worse than Mcpherson. WAY WORSE. 

 

he has missed nearly a third of his FG under 40 yards..

 

hes good enough but the guy who is 87% under 40 yards should be cut?!?!??!

The Burrow, Chase, York combo is LIFETIME UNDEFEATED.  Something like 20 and 0 or 21 and 0…and you want to break them up???  Are you nuts?
