If he's gonna be a bitter old man then I'm going to be a bitter old fan.

I'm sure the CP guys will defend this as well, and CP does a good job of coming off friendly while he's subtlety bashing the FO, but it is what it is.

Again, why now? Before the Super Bowl? If you want to casually bash the Front Office for what happened during your tenure (that ended 11 years ago) in May or June? Fine. After a terrible year? Makes sense.

Before the Super Bowl? Seems like a weird time to bring up bad things that happened 11 to 17 years ago.

And again, I'd respect his take more if he didn't try to paint the Bengals as being cheap with the roster when they spent $200+ million on free agents over a 2 year span.

Keep your take fair and reasonable, or you come across as bitter.

Also, your past experience doesn't = how things are now. 2010 was a long time ago.

It's a free country so you can be bitter all you want but it's silly.

So here are my takes with scouting.

We have ONE guy that does analytics, but apparently he is doing a good job.  According to ESPN every other team has a handful, not sure of the impact one way or the other?

We have 6 FT time scouts now, by far the fewest in the league, and our divisional rivals best us 3-1 numbers-wise.
Which would not be an issue for me if the following hadnt occurred:

3 1st round busts in 4 years (2015-2018) - a killer for a small market team.

Only ONE solid Oline starter drafted in the last 10 years.  - Inexcusable for any team.



I am really frustrated that a man who has shown he is incompetent when it comes to identifying talent and other facets still demands to have final approval over draft picks and to choose draft picks at 86 years of age.  (I understand he is the owner and always believed he is a great GM)

Carmen was not a good pick with others still on the board like Cosmi, Creed and others - would really like to know if the rumor that Pollack wasnt thrilled is true.  MB and Paul Alexander's great idea.  I do have faith he will productive eventually.  


I dont want moan and gripe during SB week, I simply want us to be on a level playing field with the 2nd worst team resources-wise. 

Tied for last with scouts, build the worst practice facility, and retire MB from any and all decision making, these would make me happy.
