July 26, 200818 yr Author It's this kind of thinking by the Bengals that has them mired in mediocrity. Rock on:dancingpa It's that kind of thinking (in this case only) that has propelled the best teams in the league. Move back a few spots, get a guy that fits what you are looking for and with the extra pick select a prospect to groom for the future. You are really hinging your argument on several injuries to Perry the Bengals have zero control over? Give me a break. What have the Rams won with Jackson again???
July 26, 200818 yr What team do you work for again??? the same one you do... If you think Irons was a second round pick...:eek:

You are really hinging your argument on several injuries to Perry the Bengals have zero control over? Give me a break. What have the Rams won with Jackson again??? I'm hinging my argument on Jackson was, is, and will be a better player than Cris Perry. And IF the dunderheads would have done what everyone thought they would and draft the better player, we would not be talking about another ill fated Bengal RB. And please never compare the Bengals and what they do to the best teams in the NFL. You sure you're OK?:lol:
July 26, 200818 yr Author the same one you do... If you think Irons was a second round pick...:eek: He was considered a top 5 back by most experts in the 07 draft, and yes he was a solid selection in round 2 for a team searching for a more shifty change of pace to compliment Rudi. Easy to try and look smart blasting the wrong things on a guy that didn't get the chance to play...

Plenty of dumb Bengals pick to look at. Work harder...

Easy to try and look smart blasting the wrong things on a guy that didn't get the chance to play... I agree, it is unfair to bash him since he didn't get a fair shot. I didn't like the pick, when it happened, obviously. I was never impressed with him in college. Maybe it was a weak RB year, the Bengals had to have one, in their minds. But Irons senior year was anything but impressive. 940 yards, 4tds. And he was injury prone in college. I disagree on drafting a running back in the second round (when the roster included three adequate backs, with one of those injured) when you annually have one of the worse defenses in the NFL.

I disagree on drafting a running back in the second round (when the roster included three adequate backs, with one of those injured) when you annually have one of the worse defenses in the NFL. So, you admit the roster only had two backs ready to play? Take a look back at that draft and tell me where the RB they clearly needed to select comes from? Did they reach a little, maybe. That doesn't make it a bad pick. You want to fire away, go guns blazing on the major screw up with Matt Toeaina. Or taking Jeff Rowe when he's not likely to ever be the #2. In a very weak RB draft, they felt the need to get the best guy left in RD 2 since they didn't have a pick in RD 3 and there was nothing of value left after that...

July 26, 200818 yr As you see it. Which is seriously flawed... You more than anyone should know the pro teams in this town are horrendous. That is the truth, negative or not.

And there was nothing better that went about the same time they took Irons. You think Mr. Boone County is on his way in?
