Adam Jones, Cedric Benson, Chris crocker, Reggie Nelson, Terrance Newman, Deltha Oneal, Wallace gilberry didn't help this team while they were here? Because all of those guys would be considered dumbster signings. Also are you saying you would not be happy if this team signed guys like a Torrey Smith, Nick Mangold, and Mychal Kendricks?
You're making a straw man argument:
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent.
I want the Bengals to occasionally sign Top 3 tier free agents. Of course a team can't go out and sign 10 top tier free agents. I want them to sign 1 or 2 to put us over the top. It's fine to sign other free agents too to round out the roster.
Instead the Bengals go out and sign guys like Aaron Maybin, AJ Hawk, etc...that are either 1st Round busts or washed up.
Whether the guys you listed helped us or not...WE HAVEN'T WON A PLAYOFF GAME IN 26+ YEARS.
