Front Offices of AFC North

Regardless of whether or not we've been "the worst", "one of the worst, or even "below average" in the draft alone, there's no arguing with the results on the field.  This is a franchise that hasn't won a playoff game in over 30 years.

Fwiw, I laughed again when you put us among the "class of the league" in the early 2010's.  "Class of the league" to our beaten down fan base means top 12.  How sad is that?  You would have thought we would have reeled off a couple of Superbowls and Conference Championships in there but nope, we're such a sad organization that we hold up Wild Card performances like the '91-97 Chicago Bulls.

I'm going to put this as simply as I can:  All of the people you see listed in the OP have a hand in building their respective teams.  And our team has been laughingstock for years.  That's a real big ***** problem and it needs to be fixed ASAP.  No one should be defending the Hader Hardware that is our front office.

There are always going to be haters, it's just engrained in some people to take an opposing position.

Truth is the lists are what they are.  The Bengals lack scouting in comparison to the other teams in the AFC North.  How much that has on the outcome of football games is unknown.  It's probably somewhere in the middle, not as bad as the records would indicate but definitely has some impact.  Incompetence comes in many forms, it's not all player personnel.
