If they truly believed that Joe is HIM, they should have traded Chase and got a ****ing HAUL. Which would have gone a long way to replacing the upper tier players they’ve lost, as well as bolstering the OL to protect Joe. Why can’t he operate an offense without having a top 3 WR to throw to?

The Bengals know that Joe won’t be able to carry that team without Chase. So this is their plan. Seems that he’s not as good as quarterbacks who still compete without a stud WR1. Pat, Josh, Lamar have all seemed to do it. But those 3 teams actually have good to great defenses. Which is where part of their problem is, the other is the GM.
