What's up with him? Any rumour? Any speculation? Sneeky pick-up?

As Perry owner in dynasty, I certainly understand the negativity toward him but I do find this situation intriguing. Before the season, the Bengals made comments about getting Rudi more involved in the passing game and he did seem to be getting more targets. If they want more receiving production out of the running back spot, Perry might just get a shot and he's certainly proven himself to be a good runner at this level. Obviously his injury history is one of the worst in the league so expectations should be low, but I think we'd be silly to completely write him off at 26 years old.
I also own Rudi, Irons, and Watson, so this whole thing is maddening. I have a bad feeling Rudi won't return to form this year.

Perry was a first round selection right? And the Bengals have him for 2 more seasons? Gotta think at some point they are will want to see what the heck this guy has or at least try to show him off to trade to another team.
At least he's almost as fresh as he was in 2004 when they drafted him! Unless I'm reading these stats wrong he's only had 73 rush attempts since entering the NFL!

I believe he was PUP'd and will soon be available, but I don't know his condition.
I've always believed that Perry could be LT2 caliber if he were durable, but he has been super fragile or unbelievably unlucky. Still, like many Perry owners, the mere potential he has led me to reserve a roster spot for him and then kick myself for doing so.

If fresh includes multiple surgeries on his legs and ankles, then yeah he's still fresh.I have carried him in a few dynasty leagues for some time, only because of his draft position and his youth. I think he's still a dynasty hold for the next two months, but I'm not running to grab him these days unless I have crap at the end of my bench. RB years are like dog years and a guy who has had leg and ankle problems his whole so-called career isn't likely to be the same guy that was drafted 4 years ago. Time is running out on him, and if he shows nothing by the end of this year at the age of 26, I cut him loose and don't look back.

When did he do this?

Well, the full sentence was:
I was referring to his pass catching ability and chose the word "runner" because it flowed better than "pass catcher".

Actually, he IS decent, but apparently it's amateur night at the Laugh Factory in here.valhallan said:

As a Bengals fan myself, I would go ahead and drop Chris Perry, the Bengals medical staff is the worst in the league, Tab Perry and Ethan Kilmer were supposed to be back for the Patriots game but became OUT later in the week and have now gone on IR, in addition Rashad Jeanty and Ahmad Brooks were also supposed to be back for the Pats game as well, were both downgraded to OUT, and didnt even return last week AFTER THE FREAKING BYE! And if that wasnt bad enough Lemar Marshall got injured against the Pats and was hopping off the field after injuring his Achilles, our entire training staff walked behind him, INSTEAD OF FREAKING HELPING HIM OFF THE FIELD OR GETTING HIM A CART!
The training staff has misdiagnosed Perry three times now I think its safe to cut him now. Its the reason Willie Anderson and Carson Palmer have opted to go outside of the medical staff to receive help. Proof is our players seeking treatment outside the organization, that's all the proof you need.

The Laugh Factory line is my shtick and considering the statement in question clearly says "good runner" I am exactly right to wonder when he proved that in the NFL.He has good hands I guess but it's not like he is posting a Westbrook or Thurman like 9.6 ypc or even LT's 7.4 (7.9 over the last 5 years). Guys like those mentioned and the Ronnie Harmon's of the league are good pass catchers out of the backfield. Even guys like Lamont Jordan average 8.3 yards per catch. Ronnie Brown 8.3, McGahee 7.3, Fred Taylor 8.4, Julius Jones 8.1, MBIII 7.9, Tiki 8.8...even Kevan Barlow averaged 8.1, Jerome Bettis 7.2. I'm just picking names at random here guys, many of whom aren't exactly known for their receiving skills.Perry's 6.4 ypc is closer to Rudi Johnson's 5.9 then the good pass catchers in the league. So yes Perry has proven that he can catch well and not do to much with the ball after the catch.I'll be here all the week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Who knows. I've got no problem holding onto him as my RB7 in my dynasty.
Rudi's looked lack luster and really doesn't fit that offense. He's not a home run threat whatsover. Bengals will regret giving Rudi that last contract.

You can't drop your best RB because your medical staff sucks. Perry is a first down machine and he makes their offense great.Marvin Lewis yesterday.... looks like they aren't saying much.Q: Chris Perry. Does he have a chance of returning to practice? ML: Yes, he does. Chris Perry has a chance to return to practice. Q: Do you know when? ML: Yeah, I actually probably do know when. But we'll wait until we do that. Chris has really done well. He's working hard. If he doesn't have any setbacks here with anything, it should be in short order.

Careful Nigel, a dramatic smilie like that could knock Perry out for another six weeks.

Even if Perry does practice, why would anyone think that Perry has overtaken Watson at this point? Seems like a lot of hype over a guy who hasn't even stepped on the field all year.

No one's saying that. I just think it's big news this guy's doing any type of athletics.Even if Perry does practice, why would anyone think that Perry has overtaken Watson at this point? Seems like a lot of hype over a guy who hasn't even stepped on the field all year.

No one has said that. Is it possible he does? Absolutely. Is it probable? Probably not.There's hype because of what people saw a healthy Perry play. Will we see that again? Who knows.Even if Perry does practice, why would anyone think that Perry has overtaken Watson at this point? Seems like a lot of hype over a guy who hasn't even stepped on the field all year.

I always thought Perry was a great talent, but he has an injury history like Tim Biakabatuka. I picked him up in both of my dynasty leagues because "why not? all he costs is a roster spot."
I expect little from Perry, but think the risk/reward ratio makes him worth a roster spot. It like when you make a "crying call" in poker. That's when you're about sure you're beat, but the return on your investment is so great that you can't afford not to make it, just because its worth it the few times you're wrong. Perry is my FF "crying call", I'm about 95% certain he'll be injured for the year playing PS3 or something, but at the cost of only a roster spot, and the high upside I see from him were he actually to stay healthy, I can't say no.

If they are both healthy, I think Perry is a better player in pretty much every regard (Well, maybe not blocking. Never saw Perry block). Especially in the passing game, where CJ and TJ really, really need some help.But since I qualified the statement with the word "healthy", we'll probably never get to find out.taz said:Even if Perry does practice, why would anyone think that Perry has overtaken Watson at this point?
