But at least you will not blame Marvin for losing because he was never given the talent he needed, correct?  I mean you can't possibly rip Marvin for not being able to win with a loaded roster if you admit that the front office's refusal to sign top quality talent is the problem, right?

Just had to throw "lots" in there to fit your narrative huh ?

And there's just as long a list of teams whom have used free agency with much success !

Like McC says no one is asking for the Bengals to go sign the 4 highest priced FA's out there, that never works. What we want is for the Bengals to plug a few holes with quality FA's and/or resign the cream. They drafted a guard in the 1st round for the first time ever and all indications are they're letting him go = MB being cheap.

They'll retain guys like Mauagula and Peko = MB being cheap. They'll sign twilight of their career guys like Dansby and Hawk = MB being cheap.

This team needs to much to just sign the bargain basement FA's and "build thru the draft" If this core of good players is going to have a chance the time is now - period !

We need a couple pieces now, whether its a center and LBer. DE and LT ?? But standing pat with this O-line and LBer's/DE's and our core is gonna start splitting up and it will truly be rebuild time again. WAY sooner than later.
