Welp we can chalk the Bengals game as a win for the Colts now. 

Browning looked ok for being thrown in there. They do still have good weapons.

If Tannehill is healthy I would be asking to be released with a couple teams needing QB for. Playoff push. Only problem is he had to go on the waiver wire this late in the season.

The way I see it is he was always a high risk pick and they took a pretty big gamble by drafting him where they did.  Im not going to be surprised at all if he doesnt pan out

 

He could also become a good player thats fun to watch.  I guess we will find out in the next year or two

People complained for years that Ballard was risk adverse and that he needed to take a risk on getting a franchise QB knowing that it always a crap shoot but you have to take risk in order to get ahead. He took the risk and I will be happy if he turns out well but will not be one of those 'told you so guys' if he doesn't. there have been a few who already are doubting Ballard. Can't wait to see him next year.

I'm wondering if the Bengals will use this season as an excuse to move on from Zac Taylor... 

 

If Jim Harbaugh becomes available, you might have brothers coaching in the same division against each other. Now, the NFL would salivate over that. But would Mike Brown be able to get along with a strong personality like Jim Harbaugh?

 

Jim would love to be alongside Lou Anurumo, and be good for the Bengals.

Harbaugh is going to want a contract like Payton’s.  Not all teams have the wherewithal to do a similar deal.  For me he winds up with the Bears and Bellicheck to the Giants.  Just spit balling of course.

Yeah, they were without Tee Higgins and Sam Hubbard, the pass rusher opposite Trey Hendrickson. Hubbard is a top 9 run stopping DE in the ENTIRE LEAGUE, not just the Bengals (note the rushing yards given to both Texans and Ravens the last 2 games he wasn't there). If both of them are in there, they are a different team, IMO, with Chase to pair with Higgins and Hubbard to pair with Hendrickson.

I think Jim is too much damaged goods at this point. Too many investigations going on. The dude screams crooked.

He didn't say.  He just said that AR has the most extensive injury history of any of the QBs available for the draft.

 

My impression is that most people think these injuries were a surprise.  Apparently, if AR was the most injury prone coming into the draft, then what happened to him should not be unexpected or be considered a stroke of bad luck.  That's how I think about it.

could be his style of play brings more injuries

This latest investigation is a joke.   All teams scout and try to get the other teams signs

There’s other investigations from previous years. But, that said, the NCAA is worse and more crooked than Jim. They’re power hungry and don’t seem to care about integrity.
