And Rudi did nothing until Marvin arrived , but that was just "coincidence" because that is what fits your opinion.
BTW Mike Zimmer inherited 12 starters and 7 Pro Bowl players including the best RB in the entire league. But you still claim Marvin was handed more talent than Mike was. You just see what you want to see in order to discredit what Marvin accomplished.
Palmer was an absolute no brainer of a pick. The team needed a quarterback, had the first overall pick, and a prototypical Heisman Trophy winner was coming out of college. If Palmer would have been a bust, that would have been on him. If the Bengals would not have needed a quarterback, then first team that did is who would have picked him.
