Scott was insurance in case we couldn't get a RB in the draft. He's gone.

I agree. He is done here.

Scott was similar to the the type of car insurance that gets peddled on late night televsion

They seem to be so enamored with him they would probably wheel his ass out there in a wheel chair.

From ESPN:


"Of all of the newcomers to Cincinnati Bengals camp, it seems that Rex Burkhead the sixth-round pick out of Nebraska, was the one who Marvin Lewis could not stop raving about.

"Just the quickness in line, the ability to stick his foot in the ground and go from Point A to Point B," Lewis said of Burkhead. "Just the things you saw from him on tape. His abilities as a receiver. I think he’ll be a guy also who will really uplift us on special teams and compete to be one of our core guys."

Cincinnati really tried to boost their offensive unit through this year's draft and already have big plans for both Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert and North Carolina running back Giovani Bernard. But don't be too surprised to see Lewis's love for the underdog Burkhead - and the back's role - to grow steadily as minicamp gets into full swing."

Tubbs where you at dude?

Not a bad 6th rounder. Might not even make the team though.

If Burkhead makes the team he will be the 4th RB.

He was a 6th round player who lacks speed.

I'd be shocked if he makes the team.

You're an idiot

BJGE is the week 1 starter, the Bengals staff hate rookies.
however, I'd expect the 2 rookies to completely outshine him when given a chance.

Are you really patting yourself on the back because your favorite 6th round player looked good in a pair of mesh shorts?

For our sake, I hope the dude is awesome. But it's absurd to make any judgments, positive or negative, until the seasons begins.

It's ok to be hopeful
we have a knack for finding running backs in the rough
