Are the Bengals that bad? Daniels looked pretty good last week and the week before, too. No rookie adjustment period so far. Typically, rookie quarterbacks who run a lot have a shorter adjustment period than pocket passers, but this has been an impressive debut.
Every few years, there's an impressive crop of new quarterbacks. I don't know why it seems to work this way, but 2024 seems like it might become one of those years.

The Bengals basically played without a d-line last night and the results were predictable. They can't rush and they can't stop the run. Double Hendrickson and the world is yours.
