  • Well let’s talk about what he isn’t good at.

    • He delivers nearly nothing in pass protection and probably never will, so when he’s on the field you know it’s a handoff or he’s running a route.

    • He doesn’t have good hands for pass catching, as we’ve already seen.

    • He’s so diminutive that he really isn’t useful in short yardage situations. Remember on 4th and inches on Sunday when Hill got it on the second effort? Mitchell doesn’t have a second effort. If you get two hands on him, he’s tackled.

    • He preformed admirably at ECU but he also wasn’t being chased by any future NFL players.

    He’s really, really good at a very narrow set of skills, and doesn’t bring much else.









  • The Bills had a window, and they blew their best shot in 13 seconds in Kansas City. They were once a playoff fixture. But those rookie deals expired, Josh Allen’s cap hits have started hitting hard, players on good teams get paid to go elsewhere, vets get replaced by mid-round draft picks… and right now they’re not even in the playoffs.

    I think people are frustrated because they see Cincinnati heading in the same direction.

    The easy days are over for the Bengals. Joe’s cap hits are going to hit hard and fast, Jamarr is going to be the highest paid receiver in the NFL about four months from now, Higgins probably moves on, along with most of these names. The margin for error shrinks

    It gets a LOT harder from here on out.








  • In Vegas, a starting quarterback is worth about seven points on the spread. But for Cincinnati it feels like its worth 21 points. And I just feel like it is a failure of coaching that every game depends entirely on Burrow, while the other position groups are nearly superfluous.

    The Bengals are talented enough to win games when Burrow doesn’t play his best. They just don’t.
