HairOnFire Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 i think the bengals need to look real hard for another qb, bruce is pure trash. yea i know he had a high completion % tonight. that's because he dumped every thing off never looked down field once. Hater. FWIW I agreed with everything you wrote except the above. As for Gradkowski himself, I won't defend him now because I don't have to. The man did his job almost flawlessly.

Spor_tees Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Gradkowski has decent pocket presence and he is more than adequate at throwing on the run. He is a solid #2 and if he does get to see the field I hope we get to see some of that Gradkowski magic that he was able to use twice against the Bengals.

HoosierCat Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Per Reedy, Taylor Mays was up and walking around in the locker room so it seems whatever happened wasn't a big deal. Did see Cochart dinged his shoulder, haven't seen if it's serious yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he did well under the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I liked what I saw from the players that matter.As did I. There's a lot of promise in this crew. I'm not sure when it happened but I'm starting to like THIS team. So maybe there really is something to the Ewing Theory. Or maybe not. All I know is I no longer cringe when the sideline reporter interviews Bengal players.Manny Lawson was completely awesome.I want his jersey.

HairOnFire Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 i seen it different. i seen a man run around looking lost and just dumping everything off. Yeah, exactly like Dalton did for the first two preseason games. Because that's what the offense is based upon. Quick reads and short passes. Only after a certain comfort level is reached do the coaches try to fold in the occasional "chunk" play, and Cincy coaches most certainly haven't made getting Gradkowski prepared a big priority. From the start he's been treated like he was the "other" guy. Frankly, as a starting QB Bruce Gradkowski probably isn't the answer to any question worth asking, but he is a servicable backup with a history of decent play if given enough time to prepare.

Sea Ray Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Do you think the reports of Carson coming back might be because he heard what he might be missing out on?What reports are those? I've heard nothing of substance. Only BS speculation by clueless fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only BS speculation by clueless fansif carson comes back. it would only be to cash in on the 11 mil that is still on the table while trying to force a trade. i think it was pretty clear he does not want to play here.

By my counting, if he shows up, he'll have to write Mikey's a check for $1.11 million for skipping 37 days.Wow. I didn't really think about it before... but if MB were to trade him now, he would make a cool million in profit. Genius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
