Comments on: First and 10: Those friendly and helpful Bengals! http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/2008/09/29/first-and-10-those-friendly-and-helpful-bengals/ Musings on the world of sports Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:17:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: James http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/2008/09/29/first-and-10-those-friendly-and-helpful-bengals/comment-page-1/#comment-876 James Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:55:52 +0000 http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/?p=580#comment-876 So tell me, exactly what did we draft Brady Quinn for, if the head coach and GM steadfastly refuse to allow him in a game under any circumstances? Just how bad must he be, I ask, fecitiously? Since I don't trust the smug, arrogant Savage or the dimwitted Romeo, I prefer to think that Brady would be the much better QB for this team now and longterm, and that those idiots are just too stupid or paranoid to make a change. It'll be the same old, same old...we lose a great player, and he'll become a star elsewhere. Then we sit, regretting our decision. Thank heavens for consistency!

But particularly Savage, Ferry and the majority owners of the respective franchises. If it casts a bigwig in a poor light, it will never come from a local sportswriter. Maybe you and the others are concerned you might be denied some access if you don't give them the marshmallow treatment. Who knows, I can't read your collective minds. Your last sentence above was typical. That guy Eric wasn't asking for others to pass judgment on Savage. That guy Eric was asking for YOU to pass judgment on Savage. You do have an opinion, don't you? Maybe I missed something, but I think Eric is still waiting for his answer. And leave the s'mores out of it, I've seen enough graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate for one day.

How about the New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens, and Denver Broncos? Can you say 1-8. Ouch!!!

Keep in mind Jeff Faine was dealt away to land D'Qwell so unnecessarily and mistakenly high in Round Two. And, after all the drafted LBs Phil has assembled (five), which is an impact performer, playmaker or defensive force? What is more, for all the praise Savage gets for dealing back up into Round One for Quinn, might the manuever have been better executed for a legitimate defensive star? Any thought given to that answer must be tempered by the GM's apparent inability to recognize such a talent. What has Phil ever done to cause anyone to suspect he knows what a difference-making defensive draftee looks like? Way to gloss over the assessments of the '06 draft.
