gregcook68 Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 The point if the thread is that the offensive scheme needs to change for the Bengals. Well, that may have been the point of this thread, but now I feel we need to make an urgent change to a new point, namely: how can we help our UK-based Bengalszone brethren escape their doomed isle before the ghost ship full of diseased cannibal rats crashes onto their shore?This reminds me of the old Johnny Cash song, "Ghost Riders In The Sky"!

ArmyBengal Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've been saying for a while that what Dalton needs is a solid vet backup.Not really even to put pressure on him, but someone he can go to and talk things out.A "what did you see there" kind of thing from a vet that's "been there".He has never had that and not even 5 years ago, that was never a consideration for a team regarding their rookie QB.I honestly think that is an area the Bengals front office has failed Dalton in.

There was big benefits to that protocol! At least that way, they were much more mentally prepared for the strategic nuts and bolts part of the game by the time they started playing on a regular basis.Just way too many teams now to keep that implemented I reckon!

ArmyBengal Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think it's more the thought that teams are putting out big dollars on QB's drafted high in the first round and want results sooner rather than later.With the recent success of "some" rookie QB's and through their early years, more and more teams are looking for the rookie QB that can start now.
