Why so sensitive?

Draft weekend is generally a time when even Bengals fans have visions of their team holding the Super Bowl trophy.

Heck, who should have more reason to be optimistic than us? Wholesale changes have been made in the team (for the better, I think) and while another disastrous year is technically possible, it isn't a stretch to say that we have nowhere to go but up.

And yet a significant portion of the discussion here today is about what could go wrong, dislike of Hurney / dislike of this year's picks or bad stuff someone said about us :(

I'm as big a believer in being realistic as you'll find, but even I gotta ask: For at least a day or two, wouldn't it be more fun to leave last year's disasters behind and dream a little?

Hardest Schedule in the NFL (based on last year) + One of the biggest projects ever + Not being able to practice/communicate due to greedy bastards = Recipe for disaster

Agreed..and im usually at least semi-optimistic.

That's a reach to say "biggest project ever". He's no more a project than Big Ben was after his draft day.

Exactly from the sounds of it Rivera see's Cam as a Big Ben/Vince Young type rookie. People that didn't watch Cam in college still reaching with that raw label. Sure he's not the finished product but imo he's far from raw project like a Colin Kaepernick.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
