If Terry is so essential to our team why isn't he signed yet? Because AP knows we'll be ok with or without him. You keep thinking our passing game will suck without Terry. He's a 1,000 yd receiver. Deebo has averaged nearly this amount yearly himself. We have other dudes also. I love Terry and hope he signs but everyone on this board needs to understand he's not Jerry Rice and is replaceable and may just have to be. This is a quarterback driven league not wide receiver.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
With or without him lol, the passing game would drop off a lot IMO and the offense would be worse. They arent giving him what he wants because he is under contract and if he doesnt play thats his choice. The deal has much less to do with how they value him for the team vs. the position he is in/leverage he has.

I am almost hoping Terry holds out for a few weeks just so that it becomes obvious he is needed to all. Lol. Wonder what the argument will be when we are 1-3 and can’t throw the ball downfield? |

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
He doesn’t have to be Jerry Rice to make a difference. He is a top 10 wr in the league, and by far our best deep ball wr. In our offense he is essential. Our passing game will SUFFER without him.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
You don't know that. Again, our passing game was AVERAGE last year. I already you provided you the link validating this. Terry is one portion of many that make up our passing game. Oline significantly upgraded giving more time to throw for JD5. We have a new speedster rookie, a stud wr from SF, and potentially other replacements that can contribute. JD5 will move this ball through the air with or without Terry.
Look at all the great qbs who have won SBs numerous times. Many did it with different receivers. Patrick Mahomes 3x Tom Brady 7x Troy Aikman 3x Peyton Manning 2x Terry Bradshaw 4x Joe Montana 4x I could name more. Brady is the king of not only SB victories but doing with many different wrs. He actually took a paycut for greatness contrary to Terry's current song and dance.

Re: Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
So I got to see this game live and here are my thoughts:
* Deebo's speed is crazy * As everyone has mentioned it, BRob is done * I think our offense is going to pick up right where they left off last year * I was surprised to see Burrow play for so long and he was being harassed by our second string d-line. * Hartman needs to be cut. * This was my first post-Snyder era trip to a game and the stadium looks nice.

Preseason Gameday Thread #2: Bengals Edition
Are we really debating whether our offense will be better with Terry? Of course it will. Sure we have other guys, but he’s our best WR. And even if we were average last year in the passing game and picked up some new toys, it doesn’t mean we won’t benefit from him in the lineup in a significant way.
I get it if the hold in rubs you the wrong way, but it shouldn’t cloud anyone’s judgment about his value to the team. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
