That makes no sense at all.
Are you saying Marvin hasn't been involved in any player moves?

Surely you don't disagree with that do you?
I'm not sure what you're answering here because I asked a completely different question.

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.
If you're truly judging him fairly, then you can't give him all the credit and say he shares none of the blame.
If he's good enough to make the playoffs 7 times, then there's absolutely no excuse for not having at least one playoff win. I'm sure you'll agree that's a fair assessment, right?
