Clearly these teams are vastly different in success. They made their conference championships, we have the #5 pick in the draft. Obviously there are vast differences.  Just saying the attempts to build a contender here looks similar to those teams. We are trying to build a high powered offense just like those contending teams.

The difference? Coaching and trench talent.

Interesting that you can't see the it.

When I was younger and traveled a great deal people would come up to me on planes and say that I looked just like Bill Gates. Then they'd add that they knew I wasn't because I was flying a commercial plane and in coach no less. It didn't hurt that I was flying in and out of the airports around Silicon Valley almost weekly. Other similarities were that we both ran software companies.

But, of course, there are differences between him and I. Far more than we have in common.


While I like Boyd and Higgins neither could be confused with a cheetah.

While Bengals may have a defense, they've been near the bottom and have retained the mastermind behind that bottomness.

The Bengals defense has no clue what to do with an opponent's TE.

While Borrow is considered a franchise QB, many franchise QBs have never won anything.

Mixon is a very good RB when given room, but we rarely see that for reasons best known to God or the Bengals front office or possibly even the block scheme guru who has failed the last two years.

When you get a top 10 pick you just aren't a contender and do not resemble one, in my book.
