Seems to me like Winfrey is a long way from anything
The shine is coming off the FO's decision-making.
How so? He was a day three selection.
2020 Draft
1st Rd - Wills. More negative questions than positive results. Best OL coach in the league and the guy still has issues.
3rd Rd - Elliott. Rededicated himself for this year.
He's been awful thus far.
3rd Rd - Phillips. Still JAG. If he can't beat out Anthony Walker for meaningful snaps then he's toast.
2021 Draft
3rd Rd - Schwartz. Half the fans on here want him cut after (1) season.
2022 Draft
1st Rd - To Houston - who needs a DT?
2nd Rd - Traded - who needs a WR?
3rd Rd - Emerson. Lots to like...but Ward, Greedy, Newsome & Green will be ahead of him on the depth chart. Who needs a WR/DT?
2022 Roster
Backup QB to be the starter for (11) games minimum - they took this risk. Keenum is more-accomplished but he was discarded.
Backups backup is a 6+ year vet with ~17 passes thrown in the NFL
Who needs a QB to win?
(1) true NFL caliber WR; he'd be the 3rd best WR on the Bengals. No other WR would make the Bengals roster. WRs in 2021 were so bad that the top (3) weren't wanted back.
(?) number of DTs that could get meaningful snaps for another NFL team. DTs in 2021 were so bad that the top (2) weren't wanted back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fans will state that a team cannot have All-pros at every position...but that's not our issue at WR & DT...not only do we not have All-Pros...our average Joes aren't good enough to make a competitive roster in the league. Our "shining light" will come after the other 31 teams have discarded the best 53 on their roster.
