Jerome Simpson Front Flip Touchdown vs Cardinals 12/24/2011



Dayammm.. I mean damn.

Sure we have all bitched about Jerome Simpson's inability to get on the field and make plays in the past. But since late last season that man has come to play. Sure he has dropped few passes through out the season. But I don't care about any of that shit any more. This has to be on the best plays I have seen by a Bengals player. Period.

Investigation Into Cincinnati Bengals Jerome Simpson And Anthony Collins



Just when I started to forgive Jerome Simpson for his drops vs. Broncos, he gets busted for some high grade marijuana stuff. Now I'm starting to wonder why he dropped all those passes.

All the details are not out yet, but I got a feeling, he's gonna be in trouble with the law and the NFL. So him starting next Sunday looks like a long long long fucking shot.

If you have been living under a rock, and didn't hear what went down. The news is, feds intercepted some high quality sticky icky stuff from California that was set to Jerome's house in Crestview Hills, KY.


"Cincinnati Bengals teammates Jerome Simpson and Anthony Collins, both 25, were at Simpson’s home in Crestview Hills, Ky., yesterday when a package allegedly containing 2.5 pounds of marijuana arrived at the house in what authorities called a controlled delivery.
A third person, Aleen Smith, allegedly signed for the package, which was sent from Eureka, Calif., and intercepted in Sacramento, authorities said.All three were questioned at the residence, but no arrests were made at the time.
Inside the home, police allegedly found six more pounds of marijuana, other empty parcels, scales and packaging material.
“The house was set up as a potential distribution network,” said Tommy LaNier, head of the National Marijuana Initiative, a group that is funded by the Office of National Drug Control Policy and helps coordinate marijuana enforcement operations around the United States.


Usually where there is smoke, there is fire. But I'm not gonna jump to conclusion and say he smoked weed and he was selling some stuff to make a living. But damn, it's his house, how does he not know if someone smoking or dealing marijuana in the house. That high quality stuff is stinky as a skunk.

Now news is that his twitter account is gone, and his website is down. So something is going down.

Now comes the bigger question. Who's gonna be the #2 starting WR against the 49ers?

Cincinnati Bengals Jerome Simpson not a bust?


So the Cincinnati Enquirer wrote an article about  Bengals WR Jerome Simpson this morning, they stated that Jerome is just slow to pick up the speed of NFL and he is also slow to pick up the system. And All Pro Blogger John Thornton agrees with the Enquirer and thinks Jerome is not a bust. But reality shows that its almost over for him.
So lets take look at some stats for Jeromoe and some other WRs drafted after him.
Jerome Simpson: 1 Rec, 0 TD
Earl Bennett: 74 Rec, 2 TDs
DeSean Jackson: 143 Rec, 14 TDs
Early Doucet: 39 Rec, 1 TD
Harry Douglas: 38 Rec, 2 TDs
Mario Manningham: 82 Rec, 8 TDs
Andre Caldwell: 71 Rec, 3 TDs
I could keep on going with the stats, but why waste my time.
Its pretty simple, if you are drafted in the first 3 rounds, you are expected to produce or contribute to the team some how. To me Jerome has not done anything in almost three years for this team. So tell me is he a bust or not?
I'm gonna go out on a limp and say he is a bust because, look at Andre Calwell who was drafted later than, but has produced more than Jerome in the same time span. He has adapted to the speed of the NFL and learned the system. That is why he is out on the field. Also, look at Jordan Shipley, for goodness sake he is a rookie. But he is out on the field every Sunday making plays while Jerome is on the sidelines. So I'm not sure what Thornton and  John Erardi of the Enquirer is smoking but to me Jerome is a bust.
But the real question should not be about Jerome but about the Bengals scouting team, are they a bust or not. Its not Jerome's fault for being drafted too high, its the Bengals non-existent scouts departments fault for drafting him based on highlight reels on youtube?
