Spending the money it will take to sign Higgins, on a WR with a shaky injury history, instead of spending it on the defense that just gave up the most points in NFL history, would be an epically bad decision.  

Yes, I've been a loud proponent of drafting T-Mac if available, but this has nothing to do with that.

Even if we use our 1st on a defensive player, our cap room should be entirely spent on the defensive side of the ball.  There are always good defensive players in FA because teams use their cap space to lock up offensive guys first, and they're more ready to help our defense than any rookies would be anyways.

For what it would take to sign Higgins, we could add 2 or 3 starters on defense, with at least one of them being a big splash signing.  

To get him to come here, it's going to take Top 5 WR money, in no way is he worth that in a vacuum, let along once you factor in our defensive issues.

Yeah, Higgins feels like a big risk and it increasingly feels like he won't be available anyway. Burrow is barking for him and he's publicly talking about being willing to take less to stay with the Bengals. I don't think he hits FA. But I do think his agent is gonna tell him to STFU with that willingness to take less talk. LOL

Even if he hits the market, he's the only good WR under 30 on the market (Diggs, Cooper, Hopkins, Adams and a few other older guys will be out there), so if he's going to sign with a bad team, he's going to force them to way over pay for what he is.

He's a mid to low end #1, he's not a Top 10 type of guy, but you're going to have to give him Top 5 money, it's just not worth it even before his injury history is factored in.

Even if he doesn't stay in Cincinnati, I could see him going to somewhere like the Chargers for less money than others would offer.  Put him in an offense with Herbert and Ladd in the slot, they could be dangerous.

Yeah, this upcoming WR FA class looks super trash. Take away Higgins and there might not be a legit starter under 30 available.

JFC dude. How many QBs have a career game every week? I mean, Bryce has had a few career games over the last stretch, though this one probably won't be surpassed by him in a bit. I mean if you are expecting 5 TDs from a QB to happen every other game or something, then no poo you are going to be disappointed.

Did you not read that these career bests happen for a majority of QBs 1 to 2 times in their career? Top 10 championship caliber QBs get 1 or 2 per season.

As for you claiming career games, let's set the standard at 3+ TDs or 300+ yard and 2 TDs. Setting the bar low for Bryce is ridiculous, because back up QBs can do what Bryce does. Bryce has 4 in 2 seasons. I expect 6 minimum in 1 season. That's between Kyle Allen with 4 and Beuerlein with 8. QBs that can make it to a conference championship game consistently produce 10+ (these are the QBs you can build a dyansty around). Nick Foles was capable of doing 1 of every 2 games in a season like Beuerlein.

Now you know. Maybe adjust your lowered expectations?

Why stop there since you are making up stats? Let’s go with something really unattainable. 600 yards and 7 TDs every game or you’re just backup level.

352 pass yards (67%) , 5 pass TDs

332 pass yards (68%), 4 pass TDs

308 pass yards (65%), 4 pass TDs

336 pass yards (63%), 4 total TDs pass TDs

I mean, that's a dude that started 12 games his rookie year.

Point is, it's not far fetched lunacy to expect young QBs that play to give you some big time games over the course of time if they get lot of opportunity.  Good QBs do it.  Middle of the road QBs do it.  Even bad QBs eventually have big games if given enough opportunity. 

all the games ultimately matter when you are evaluating a QB.  Team wanted that guy posted above to be THE guy.   I mean, if you cherry pick his young start vs Bryce's young start....he is a GOAT.  Doing what Bryce did Sunday over and over in a smaller window.

The Bryce fans don't want to accept standards or base lines. They won't even grade him on a curve of the past 3 QB draft classes or the entire 2024 starting field.

They hold other QBs to a higher standard than Bryce. I expect 2 more years of this with fans waiting for 2 to 3 good games a season to hope he can be a franchise QB the following season.

Whose stat line are you referencing or are you just making something up?

Nah. It's only been like, 10 games of decent to good play so far.

Trending upward, but roughly 20 or so. Good enough to be the starter next year and give us hope he can still improve.

Let's see how next season goes.

That's all that needs to be said.  Credit him for pounding the dogshit falcons.   That coaching staff was clueless and I suspect their players had enough of their ineptitude

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
