Okay Bengals, you need to stop this!

With a pretty good draft and fairly competent moves this offseason (outside of franchising the kicker), the Bengals are giving me hope for this upcoming season.

That said they need to stop it! I am much more comfortable knowing they are going to suck than hope they do well and be crushed. Dagnabbit!

Franchising the kicker may have actually been a great move too. They weren't using it on anyone else and they get him for a price that isn't bad. They didn't have to give him a signing bonus and a long term deal to keep him.

Now see, that is not what I needed to hear! :irked:

My brain cannot fully fit into my reality the thought that the Bengals could have made no true boneheaded decisions.

Don't get your hopes up too high still. I think that was a good move, but they will be lucky to go 8-8 IMO.

I'm not sure why everyone is so excited about the draft. There are no sure things in the draft. Anything could happen and many of these guys could turn out to be terrible. Wait and see before you get too excited.

It is what being a fan is all about. The season doesn't start for another four months, what else are we going to talk about?

Give me a break.

Obviously nothing in the draft is a sure thing; however, people have been analyzing the draft for years & a lot of people have make a living off of it. It just so happens that those same people seem to agree that the Bengals had a great draft.

There is no denying that the Bengals acquired a lot of talent in this year's draft.

Give me a break.

A lot of teams acquired a lot of talent in this years draft. Being happy with draft picks are one thing, but thinking that this one draft will immediately make the Bengals better next year is stretching it IMO. This rookie class isn't going to fix all of their problems right off.

Who has said that it will?

Their biggest need was OL. They got a very talented tackle and a nice center. If they can protect Carson and stay healthy this team has a chance to do somethings this year. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic for this upcoming season and yes I think this draft will make them better immediately, Andre Smith will start at LT or RT and probably a good chance the center we drafted starts along with Rey Maualuga at MLB. They got some guys who can very possibly step in and help right away.

Giving me hope = Going to fix all their problems right away?

He might be talented but how often do rookies come in and play really well?

I'm not saying they won't play well their rookie years, I'm just saying I wouldn't expect them to.

Also, who will run the ball for the Bengals?

The two are far from the same thing. You come on. You're really reaching on this one.
