Clackwoods Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thing that worrys me about hayne is the guy didn't produce till it was contract year,so he very well could shut it off as soon as he gets paid.What? He was great last year as well, the reason they didn't pay him is because of his history of character issues. He is relatively young and it sometimes takes guys a couple years to put it together. I am pretty hesitant about bringing in one year wonders as well, which is why i usually win my fantasy leagues, but if a guy performs for two straight seasons, well then he is good enough for me.

HoosierCat Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 With Jesus as our QB, we'd make the Super Bowl. But imagine the conversation between Goodell and Mike Brown:Goodell: "Mike, why is your boy turning over all the tables at 'The NFL Experience'?"Mike: "Darned if I know."Goodell: "And what's with him always hanging around with the sleazy BenGals? Don't you have a rule against fraternization with cheerleaders?"Mike: "I don't know if we do or not. Ask my cousin. Or my brother-in-law."Goodell: "Finally, we're going to drug test him. You put him on season ending IR right after Ray Lewis blew him up so bad he was non-responsive for hours. Three days later, you petition to let him play again. What gives?"Mike: "Quick healer."Goodell: "I hate you."Mike: "I know." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalByTheBay Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 JC has a cannon for an arm and would immediately make Palmer the best backup QB in the league. Please. Once you get past the rising from the dead thing I think most would agree JC's physical gifts were modest at best.....unless there was some truth to the rumors about a 20-year old JC traveling to the far east and becoming a ninja. Personally, I'm not buying it.Don't let the slight frame fool you, he smote the crap out of countless pharisees with that hose. It's not about musculature, it's about mechanics. Swap out those sandals for some field turf cleats, roll him out and dude's Greg Cook before the injury. Not to mention the fact that when he celebrates a completion by pointing up to the heavens, he's gonna freak out the opposition. As a bonus, he's a dead ringer for Ken Anderson which should help with the fan appeal. I say pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 In regards to Matt Birk, I think he would be an upgrade to what we currently have on the roster. Thing is, and feel free to ask any Vikings fan, most consider Birk to have been declining over the past couple years and are thinking if he wants a big contract to let him walk. I can't see us offering him enough to come here and that being the case, I can't see him leaving Minnesota. Why overpay for declining play when we could draft a top Center at the top of the 2nd ??As for Jesus, I think some of you got your reports from the Bengals scouting staff...Everyone knows the impact he would have on this defense would be monsterous. Being able to heal would instantly improve the linebacking corps. We would be looking at a healthy Pollack, Thurman, and Rivers to terrorize the AFCN for what would surely be at least 20 years or until they decided to quit playing. No one would lose a step due to old age and on rainy days, we would have no issues with the weather causing players to slip as we would have the whole walking on water thing nailed down.That being said, I'm pretty sure we are all going to hell...

HairOnFire Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Not to mention the fact that when he celebrates a completion by pointing up to the heavens, he's gonna freak out the opposition. It won't help much. Not with his dad being a die-hard Steeler fan and all. Remember, the old man can bring floods, drought, storm, war, or a troublesome rain of frogs. How's the kid going to answer that? And don't think family loyalty would keep the old man from doing a Kimo-chop on his son either. The first time around things ended badly for the kid, what with him being crucified and all. The old man could have put a stop to it anytime he wanted, right? But did he? Nope, he let the kid suffer just to prove some obscure point, just as he'd do again if JC signed with the Bengals. As a bonus, he's a dead ringer for Ken Anderson which should help with the fan appeal. Speaking only for myself...(ahem)....I have to say flatly, Ken Anderson is a decidely unattractive man with an unfortunate porn-star moustache.

Speaking only for myself...(ahem)....I have to say flatly, Ken Anderson is a decidely unattractive man with an unfortunate porn-star moustache.I think we're saying the same thing here....although that's likely entirely a product of my Catholic school upbringing and the no-doubt completely inaccurate portrayals to which I was subjected.As for the "pointing to the heavens" thing, I disagree. We're not talking about some fakey McNabb jab, but the real thing. The old testament is full of extended periods of time during which the good guys were knocked about by the forces of evil before being delivered by, as Chuck Heston would say, "the Power of Gaauuud." This is no different -- and you can't tell me that Charlie Batch isn't straight out of central casting for a Pharoah. It's possible that the horse is now completely dead BTW. Except for me to say that every game could end the same way...... "Hail Mary" pass baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for me to say that every game could end the same way...... "Hail Mary" pass baby.I just saw a story on MSN that brought something interesting to my attention. Matt Birk is kind of Old and we are looking for a younger Center, well what about Jason Brown from the Ravens. I am sure we could convince him to come here and start and snap the ball to a player of Carson's caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazkal Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Most raven fans wanna see him be their number priority over Lewis,Suggs or any one of their other FA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an outstanding idea, but you have to wonder how much money the Bengals would alot for the OC position. Jason Brown would/will be one of the bigger FA signings, and history says the Bengals don't value interior lineman as highly as other positions. But again, what a great way to free up a draft.

But again, what a great way to free up a draft.Yea, then we could afford to take the best defensive player in round 1 and with all the depth at OT we could still get a guy that would go first round any other season. Then we could get our RB in round 3.OrWe could go OT in round 1 and then get one of the higher rated RB's in round 2 and then a defensive player in round 3.I would really like signing him and I think it is a real possibility because Mike Brown believes in Franchise QB's and if he is always hurt then he is useless. He may consider it, but in the end he will more than likely draft one or sign Birk (Which I wouldn't hate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Except for me to say that every game could end the same way...... "Hail Mary" pass baby.Good thinking. The Bengals are down 5 to the Steelers. A few seconds left. They huddle up...Chad: "We need a touchdown. You gonna call the Hail Mother play?"Quarterback Jesus: (sighs) "Man, again Chad, just call it the Hail Mary play like everyone else does. Yea, Hail Mary on two."

The NFL is a copycat league and he's perfect for the trendy "wildcat" offense. Put him as the upback, direct shotgun snap to the RB, and Moses will just part the d-line. I mean seriously, this guy can create holes wide enough to drive an Exodus through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmyBengal Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 See, now we are onto a conversation that actually bears worth. Stop all the talk about Peppers and Haynesworth coming to the Bengals and further discuss reasons for Hair's "Hair of Fire". Seriously, it would have to be equally worthwhile and probably more amusing if nothing else... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
