Bengals 6-7 vs rookie QB's in Marvin Lewis era

Think back to the 2008 season. We were 2-0 and our third game was against an 0-2 Minnesota team whose fans were calling for Childress' head after the 0-2 start, and going into week three they made a QB change and started Gus Frerotte. We went in there and got beat.

Time to flip that script on the Bengals this weekend!

If our O-line continues their ineptitude, it won't matter what Clausen plays like.

Thats not really true because they werent playing to well with Moore but the qb has a lot to do with that you have to make your reads quick and get rid of the ball. We all saw a major difference with JC because after a quick survey he checks it the hell down ASAP with our checkdowns like everyone keeps saying thats a win for us because its a garunteed five plus yards

    • A new coach coming in after what I think was one of the biggest clusters of a team last year and giving your first overall QB a chance isn't to crazy.  You really don't know until you get on the field and Canales saw what we all saw.  Bryce Young was not good enough to start.  But Canales, the staff and numerous other coaches who called about trading for BY thought he might be salvageable.   I agree with you that I don't think it smart or probable that BW would put up 300 yards and 3td.  That is why Canales isn't asking or expecting him to do that.  Yet. And even that "Yet" is just a possibility but it's too freaking hard to find a QB in the NFL and there were to many other factors last year to say BW is a total bust and move on.  Especially when moving on right now means a big trade, some QB off a practice squad or running with some UDFA. The worst thing would be stuck in 6-8 wins a season but that would be a hell of a lot better than the last few year but I get and agree with your point.  My point is simply that the possibility that BW turns it around and becomes a good QB is much more likely than Dalton or any other QB we could get giving us a better chance to win games and improve long term. The only thing I've continued to preach is he's the best option currently and going forward but that doesn't mean we don't bring in other players to improve and get better.  History has shown that this place is ready to cut bait way to early on players with little regard to the alternative, or other factors that play a role in a players success. I'd love to enjoy a win without being told repeatedly over and over by the same people why we are still a failure.  The whole yeah we won but... I'm not arguing and I don't think anyone else actually thinks that your QB throwing for 126 yards is a recipe for winning but I think most people would like to feel good about a win instead of focusing on the host of things we need to continue to improve upon to be a yearly contender.  Trust me, no one is going to forget we still have a long way to go.
    • Drops. Penalties on TD throws. Fumbles.  we did a lot to make Bryce’s day look pretty ordinary. He still looked light years better than the first 2 weeks.  all we could hope for is progress and we’re getting it. 
    • I like allar and the qb from LSU as second round options. I'm coming more on board with taking the best defensive player available in the first. Hopefully that's a DE.
