Hobspin at it again

I'm as close to being done with this team as I've ever been. It's beyond belief that a coach who has wasted 3 quality draft picks on busts and whose unit was responsible for sinking an entire season will be back for his 27th (?) year. Alexander has failed in every aspect of his job recently. Drafting, developing, run blocking and pass protection. Yet he's part of the Mike Brown Bengals "family" so no accountability ever.

I won't even get started on pride-less Marv and the rest his crew.

My favorite Hobson article came after the 2013 season. The Bengals had just lost their first home game of the season to a team they beat on the road a month earlier. The Seahawks had just waxed Denver in the Super Bowl. Geoff starts comparing the Bengals to the Seahawks position by position. When he got to Kam Chancellor (a guy who had just killed it in the postseason), his Bengals counterpart was... Emanuel Lamur. I haven't read another piece of his bullshit since.
