This team is on island in terms of their front office. They're a unicorn. NO ONE has a front office this size or structures it out in the way that we do. We're also one of the absolute worst teams, not only in the NFL, but in all of professional sports over the last three decades.
That's your correlation. The league's smallest front office has produced the league's worst team over the last 30 years. What more do you need?
Do you really expect me to go into the correltation between the 17th and 8th biggest front offices to support this logic? Is that what you're asking?
No offense but this appears similarly to something like me making a point like "You should brush your teeth" and the askiing me trying to break down all of the people who brush in the AM and the PM vs. people who only brush after meals while including the people who use mouthwash in addition to brushing their teeth.
Let's start simple... We need a bigger front office (we need to brush our teeth). Once we can establish that very simple point then we can examine the more complex results further. None of this post was meant to illustrate that the biggest front office is a means to success. It was that the league's smalllest front office is a going to result in failure.
Wes I have to say I'm with you on this. There's a correlation between a small scouting staff and a losing record.
Look at the Bengals record for the past 30 years. With the exception of the Marvin Lewis era where he had a good coaching staff who adequately evaluated talent, this organization is the laughing stock of the NFL.
Ask any NFL fan, there opinions of the Bengals organization and the first words that come to mind is cheap, bad GM, bad owner.
