Bengals close to signing Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis

[History]

They said on the radio the other day, he hasn't fumbled since high school. That is impressive.

 

Which only means with his new team he will get a serious case of fumbleitis...

He's fumbling in the first game....

While BenJarvus is still a big upgrade from Cedric (because Cedric is mediocre at best), Michael Bush is still the better back. BJGE might have a better track record of staying healthy, but Bush would be a beast as a #1 anywhere. I can't say the same for BJGE. Cutler + Marshall, Forte + Bush....the Bears will be a scary team.

Except Bush and Forte won't be on the field at the same time....So when Bush is in, they'll actually be less scary.

The three-year deal recently signed by Bengals running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis has a base value, according to a league source, of $9 million. Making it worth $3 million per year.

They're 2 completely different players that can rotate and wear down a defense.

Wow, you Bengal fans are all over the map. I hate the signing because I think it helps the Bengals. He doesn't fumble, he's not been a DL regular, he gets to share the carries, he's absolutely fantastic in the short passing game and a great outlet for a 2nd year stud QB with the defense stretched to control your 2nd year stud WR.

 

Jeez, as bad as I hate to admit it, GT was dead on with the thread on Cincy Sports fan mentality not too long ago.

I had my heart set on Bush but the Law Firm probably makes more sense and the more I take in from everyone about him the more I think it is a good pick up.

I think what's more important is that in his interview I heard this morning, he WANTS to be there. Heck, not many have said that and meant it in the not too distant past.

I hear what you are saying in both posts, things really are looking up for the Bengals.

 

I think the Bengals are two or three players away from really being a force in 2012.

Need one more big time draft and I agree.

I like BJGE's ability to catch passes out of the backfield & I think he is a more natural fit than Benson within the offense.

 

I hope that the Bengals can acquire an RB with breakaway speed at some point.
