I like Duke as much as the next guy. I think he's done a wonderful job with what he's been given. But there is just no way in hell that team can produce at the same level as other organizations that dedicate many more resources to it.
Everyone do me a favor and compare the following. Pay special attention to the scouting departments :
Cincinnati Bengals Staff
Atlanta Falcons Staff
I say this because I know an individual listed on the Falcons staff page. He has outright told me the Bengals scouting process is laughable at best.
I've thought about making a separate thread about this in the past, but I can't take the NFL mission to 'put the best product on the field' when the entirety of a teams 'administration' is listed on the 'presidents' do not resuscitate document. HOLY ***** HELL
Comparing those two lists, the Bengals seem like some second rate minor league operation. I don't know how Atlanta compares to the rest of the league, but damn...

I would argue that's not the case. They may have thought it, but the team was not piling up Super Bowl trophies during that time. Yes, they did go twice, but not like they were any sort of dynasty.
