BJGE is a solid backup.

Keen on this signing. Was hoping for
bush but I think that BGE fits our style better. Being able to punch it in is more important for our offense than breaking a homerun, but mark my words, BGE will be a star player in Cincy and his RBBC in NE will mean he’s fresh. im penciling him in for Flex Rb in my fantasy drafts and he will outperform that position.

its gonna be nice to have a guy that can get it in the endzone from 2-3 yards out….that was very frustrating last year…..not all bensons fault though…..Nate Livings can now screw up the cowboys redzone stats

bengals fans 2 things you will never see with him, a 20+yard run or a fumble. he’ll just be a guy you dont notice for 80 yards, that is until you get to the goalline, then it’s going in.

Can’t wait for the press conference where he says that its all about winning.
__________________________________
Cincy made the playoffs last year so it’s not like he’s going to a perennial loser. They are looking up..nice D, & what looks like a promising young QB and WR duo for years to come. Plus they have the nest of picks for Palmer. Either way, good for him for getting a better deal. Can’t hate on him for it. RBs don’t have a long shelf life. I’m sure if the Pats had been close to that money he would have stayed. He’s a guy I would almost bet my house will NEVER embarrass the franchise off the field and he’s a very consistent player.

Again, congrats to Cincy. This and the Wharton signing are very good ones for your squad. Hope my Pats do as well with Fanene.

He’s not a great player. He doesn’t fumble, but he isn’t spectacular. The rest of the AFC North yawns.

As they look up from 2nd, 3rd and 4th place..WhoDey!

As a Pats fan, good for him. Seems like a stand-up dude.

bad move on pats… they have signed 3 WRs and 1 TE… i think RN was a bigger need and this guy was pretty solid… he never fumbles and never looses yardage…

His wonderlich is fine the Bengals have quality coaches Zim Marvin Gruden not to mention position coach Jim Anderson who has the longest tenure of any nfl assistant. We aren’t the pays but Brown does allow the coaches to make the decisions now, true they paid 10million to Antonio Bryant, but the team orthopedist got thrown under the bus. Gruden talked brown into taking Andy and not Mallet. And the weathered the losing the franchise qb better than the Colts did. Manning now luck don’t seem fair lol. No the Bengals aren’t the Pats but thanks for the love New England fans. We hope to be that competitive someday, Jonathan Joseph would have signed for 30 million for six years in 2010, ouch. But the Houston signee plus dre at pick 17 and PACMAN, not Revis but serviceable may be their next target. You got good service out of Cory Dillon, hope this works out similarly for the Bengals. I heard this player is a hard worker and great team mate peace.

Bengals lost several games last year because they couldn’t get into the end zone and had to settle for 3. BenJarvis is an exciting addition.

Although he is an upgrade, I’m not sure he completes the picture to Bengals running game. It wouldn’t surprise to see 2nd/3rd round pick on another RB. (Along with 1st round guard.)

Surprising.. wonder what’s wrong with him.. he’ll be the primary back.. Bscott knows he’s a (damn good) speciality back.

I have not seen a player or a coach, outside of NE having successful seasons anywhere they go, all Patriots signing outside s!!ck! Have you ever wonder why they are low end picks? Is the Patriot system that makes any of them better.

Sorry to see him go. Great move by the Bengals.

from the sound of all these Pats fans, we just got a great pickup. I like the move, like the Law Firm but wanted a back with a little more size. Oh well, he is a HUGE upgrade from Benson, and won’t single handedly fumble games away or get arrested every summer.

still feels weird though- typically the Pats take our guys, not the other way around…

Good pickup for the Bengals.

As a Patriots fan, I want an explanation.”

Here you go:
The Patriots didn’t select Ridley and Vereen with high draft picks with the intention of having them in reduced roles.

Good pickup Cinci….
he is not a breakaway threat, but Benny almost always got SOMETHING in a run… always moved forward, no dancing in his game. He rarely loses any yards, even when there is no hole to run through. He is a one cut and go sort of runner. Hard nosed hammer, gets the ball over the goal line. And a great teammate based on the comments coming out of Foxboro. I’ll be rooting for him to continue his success.

So much for Benny and the Jets. It sounded so much better than Timmy and the Jets. Hopefully that won’t happen either!!!

Leaves the Pats … spurns the Giants … ends up with the Bengals. Makes you wonder what his Wunderlich score was. I’m thinking single digit territory.

I wish Benny the best. He’s a great person and a very solid player. Congrats, Cincy.

Damn. Was hoping he’d be back with the Pats. Not a superstar but a really solid back who runs hard. Good luck to the law firm!!

The Law Firm always secured the ball and damn near always fell forward…. very dependable and will be missed.

Has never fumbled…wow that’s impressive! Anyone know the record for most consecutive carries without a fumble?

Love Benny – good move for Cincy and for him – I think he was entering a VERY risky situation in NE with Vereen and Ridly offering more explosiveness and more upside. One big game from them may have reduced BJGE’s role and badly hurt his financial situation and leverage going forward, with a restructure or cut before 2014.

Thanks for 2 great years.
