The lack of playoff wins has nothing to do with unspent cap money, rather execution.  The fact that they (Bengals) are even in the playoffs consistently indicates they are successfully managing the business operations.  Playoff games are less than 10% of an NFL season.  If your consistent 90 plus percent of the time I'd say the formula works.  Unless you are a glass half empty person!

1. No, no, no. No one is saying spend it on non-productive players.

Why wouldn't you spend it on productive players?

Can't the team tell by now that Hunt and Clarke are not productive players and Marvin Jones is? I've never given Mike Brown much credit in the IQ department, but a blind man can see the difference in production that is this far apart.

2. Not true at all. We've spent the big bucks on AJ Green, Atkins, Dunlap and Dalton. They've worked out well.

Denver didn't get lucky with those two guys, they evaluate talent well.

Cleveland doesn't evaluate talent well. And every free agent big payday that failed was a mis-evaluation of that player's ability, attitude or fit with the team.
