If someone had told me what Marvin would be able to accomplish while working under Mike Brown I would have said he must be a very good coach and so would you if you would be honest.
Every year during free agency the same crowd crucifies Mike Brown, but then during the season suddenly Mike Brown has nothing to do with the troubles the Bengals run into. It is pure cognitive dissonance.
And this has nothing to do with being "excited" or "satisfied" with what Marvin has accomplished. It is simply judging him fairly based on the handicap he faces with the Bengals.
