Given that JB is already having a shoulder issue, I suspect we will be seeing DM sooner rather than later. It might even happen before game 1 is over.

gmfb, via rap sheet, just reported live on tv, mayo just informed the team that jacoby is week 1 starting qb. Beat me to it, big dog. It is what it is. Written on the wall. Recruiting promise.

Why wait? Should have said it after the third preseason game. This is the direction we’re going. I see holding back from the media but not the players.

Calling a presser to name a starting QB......lame.
Me thinks: that's stupid, giving your opponent 1 1/2 weeks to prepare. Me also thinks: if your organization is run by the marketing folk.....sad Me thinks further: the ghost of BB rolling is his grave....rightfully so.

I already knew brissett was starting. I just hope maye takes over halfway. Brissett is good but he’s not a starting QB.

Brissett is good but he’s not a starting QB. maye is the better qb longterm, hell hes the better qb right now. but brissett is the right choice to start the season (and play at least the first 4 games, if not a few more) as the qb1 here.

This is the correct call. Unless Jacoby gets hurt, you don’t start Maye until after week 5. Hopefully, Jacoby can do his part and play well enough to last that long.

As far as this year's QB situation goes... stick to the plan. Play Brissett.
Play Jacoby for the first month at least while you try and fix the disaster you've created at offensive tackle.
Brissett already got hurt, don't put the kid in a position to get hurt.

While the concept here is fine, do you really think the Bengals are going to change their game plan for either Brissett or Maye for game #1?
And given that they waffled around on the starter during the last two weeks they needed to be clear/decisive to the team early in the process of preparing for game #1. And as soon as they told the team, the news was going to leak - this is definitely not the BB organization any more and between 65 players and 100 staff there were going to be a lot of unnamed sources talking to reporters.

no, you are right its unlikely much if anything changes in their gameplan for week 1. its just more of the principle of the thing... playing gamesmanship. trying to keep as many answers to the test under wraps before you have to give them, you know?

We can all relax a little, based on Pats Pulpit's latest headline: Drake Maye vows to ‘keep working’ after missing out on Patriots starting QB jobI was quite concerned he would just quit.

Quick press conference because Mayo will accidentally reveal this isn't his preference.

Quick press conference because Mayo will accidentally reveal this isn't his preference. Oops. If it wasn’t the Head Coach’s preference, then whose preference was it? And why?
