As are alot of your rants about "intangibles" being more important than skill and talent. You probably check on every astrology page for Hurts every day. if you don't like my mocks keep scrolling and ignore them,just like you ignore the fact hurts MUST perform now. He is out of "intangible" excuses

Lol with checking on astrology 🤣

  GB, we really do not know what the actual Strength of Schedule will turn out to be. Some teams may do better this year and others may not, but the actual win total will vary from what they all did last year. So, let's wait and see how everyone does and what our record is before we say we played crap teams. Maybe the Giants will end up winning 9 games and Dallas 11 and Washington 8. How would that compare to last year? It is possible, so the SOS would be much better than in 2021.... Right?

Those teams should win more due to their schedules.  Plus the odds are they won't be crushed with injuries. 

Again though...you are talking from the normal view point of understanding that we were fortunately last year with how our opponents got crushed with injuries and that our QB has question marks.

What GB and I are saying... or at least with what I'm saying...."if anyone who tries to deny that we were fortunate and tries to say how great Hurts was to get us the 9 wins"...then they have no reason THIS YEAR to think that we shouldn't get alot more wins.   The team improved in a lot of areas and improved significantly in a few. 

The reasons that we should be skeptical should be that we question the QB and the strength of those 9 wins. 

Fyi... an old classmate of mine goes to the Eagles run against autism... or whatever the event is each year ( kudos to Lurie, this is what I think he does best as an owner, all the community stuff, very nice to see, also why I don't get all the hatred to the former QB who was great in helping the community ..  #1 intangible there is!)

Anyway...she has a picture of Davis with her little daughter....  he doesn't look overweight at all.  Looks like he has a very athletic frame.

Ham called me out for stating CRAP, let HIM answer it. Thanks for your response though. Rankings and schedule strength are GUIDES not gospel,still the pro trackers have SOME idea of whats what if they are doing what they are paid to do.. So I want Ham to tell me why everyone else's opinions are "crap" as well as mine. May as well call every Vegas odds maker CRAP also

Hard to ignore a kid of that size moving like a WR. Obviously took care of his "intangibles". I imagine going into the pros he can also add muscle and learning to his resume. I am anxious to see the final product. I just don't see him being another MS2. He was one of my main first round picks for us(in my useless "craaaaaaaap" mocks according to Ham) guys along with Olave. I'm glad we could move up and get him

Still talk of us going after bates(cincy S). I would love to add him if there is a way while these younger guys are sorted

Because things change in the NFL. You basing everything on last year isn’t a great way to go about things. I have read through 80 percent of your mock drafts. Doubt I’ve clicked on any links to others mocks you’ve shared though. Just for the record. Cincy stunk before last year. So they were an easy win for every team last year, right? Wrong! Went to the SB! On paper based on a season before…CRAP!

Or the Ravens S. No need to rush. Plenty happens during TC and before the season begins. I have felt a S is a need though.

But anyway the SOS has our whole division at the bottom. So it’s all equal. Gotta go for winning the division.

AR backed Hurts pretty solidly in an interview today.

PFF ranked him as the 14th best QB last year…his first starting.

OH SOOOOO glad you know "the way to go about things" So enlighten us all as to the m"the way to go about things" since nobody elses opinion is relevant

Based on last season? That seems to be your gripe with me,but it's ok for you(not) More double standards. Love how you bend things to fit your agenda.

Were the Bengals an easy win last season like the offseason SOS suggested?

How good a player a guy is …is very different than saying how good a team is based on a previous season.

OH they played in a division as bad as ours LOL, lets see no Jackson in Baltimore. Mayfield was screwing up in Cleveland. Pittsburg clearly playing with an aged over the hill Ben and a lackluster running game

A million things happened this offseason. Does Russell Wilson moving fromSeattle to the Broncos matter? Your SOS doesn’t think so. Your head should say it makes a massive difference. If Brady retired or not….does that matter? Offseason SOS states it’s insignificant. I’d say it means everything.

So the Bengals only beat their division in the playoffs now?

Why?????? More fitting things to fit your agenda I suspect. Isn't the team the culmination of individual players ability?

And what does that have to do with this years rankings that offend you so much? DO you not think they take draft picks into account?(yes they do and guestimate their impact)

Burrow grew into a nice QB(we need that from Hurts THIS YEAR). Why is this different for you?

What were we ranked when we started the year with rookie QB Wentz?

Those players change from year to year on each team. You don’t think that matters. You spend six billion hours on the draft prep. Does having a good or bad draft effect a team?
