Hines Ward does not have the coaching experience to get an NFL HC job.

even this CVONing liberal gets it and doesnt try to call people racist.

Will #11 be issued next year?  What about 71, 87 and 25?

Yes, no, no, no

It is clear that this interview is a joke.  But it is the Texans, so hiring him would not be the dumbest thing they have done lately.

Joe Burrow is a big deal where I live. He grew up 30 miles from me. Remember everyone going crazy for him in high school. My high school played his in football.

That depends, Does Kenny Pickett like #11? 

To see the Bengals have all these weapons, we definitely need a better receiver across from Smith, whether they sign one or use a high pick on one.

He wore #2 in high school.  Hurts obviously saw the writing in the wall when he changed to #1.

It would be nice to have a QB that can put the ball wherever he wants to.

I will say, that the Rooney rule was implemented due to few minorities having these jobs. Knowing that few minorities get these jobs, that also means that fewer minorities will have a resume that looks qualified enough for these jobs.

It looks like a joke. But, if a guy like Ward gets hired and can actually have that on his resume it really means the rooney rule is beginning to work. The more of these joke candidates get opportunities, the more of them will actually be able to build resumes. And actually look like they belong. 

Is ward underqualified? Or has he just not been given opportunities he may have the ability to perform?

 

The Rooney rule needs to not just stop at getting interviews. They need to find a way to actually land minorities some jobs.

Its really a thin line to walk. Because, maybe there are people who are more qualified. I dont know the solution.

Burrow just threads the needle 

Burrow just lacks the rpms sometimes 

I still wish we got Chase, somehow, someway.

Me too but it was never going to happen.

I like Devonta, but Chase is on a different level.

Yep. Arm strength is fine, but not great. The accuracy is something else though.

Im not gonna complain about Smith - he would produce more with an actual QB throwing the ball

Great. With Chase getting success with these end arounds I can see us running it more with Reagor already.

 

I would love the Bengals to run away with this and really help propel Burrow to stardom. Rodger and Brady are great. But Im ready to see the next generation of stars at QB begin to carry the torch. Right now, there is just Mahomes.

If the bengals can fix their oline to just be above average, the amount of weapons burrow has he can be even better. He got sacked 51 times in 16 games (missed week 17). Chase, Higgins, Boyd and mixon is up there for top 5 weapons in the league.

Herbert?

yep. I dont long for Chase. I really wish we could have seen the full capacity that Smith was capable of as a rookie. Really could have been something special.

well theres one. He had a nice 2nd season and isnt even in playoffs though. Playing in San Diego... gonna take a bit longer for his star to grow yet. He will probably be in that next elite group. But its hard to really arrive until youre playing in big games.

My two favorite QBs to watch this past year were herbert and burrow. The afc the next decade is going to have some great playoff matchups with mahomes, lamar, burrow, herbert, josh Allen and potentially included Mac Jones, carr. That doesn’t even include the potential that Wilson and rodgers dealt to the afc this offseason

Did he wear #2 to represent the two gloves he wears?
