These last 2-3 years for Bengals are looking like the Reds of 2014-15. Reds delayed their rebuild and are still paying for it now. Everybody wants a Browns-like draft haul (Mayfield, Ward, Chubb in one draft). Well, Bengals gotta tank a season to get a top 5 pick and then hopefully draft two impact players with their first 2 picks. True rebuild will have at least one 3-13 or 4-12 season. Going 6-10 or 7-9 doesn't get you impact players very often when you drafting around pick 10-15 in each round.
Fire Marvin and hire his replacement from outside of building. Cut dead weight like Burfict, Michael Johnson, etc. Trade AJ for a first round pick this year and focus on fixing offensive line and linebacker unit this draft. Roll with Dalton another year (team-friendly deal) and then draft his replacement in 2020 draft (especially with Herbert going back to school). Next year is the year to tank with a strong QB class lining up (Herbert, Tua, etc.). But its Mike Brown so they'll do nothing, end up going 7-9 again, and miss out on the impact QB's.
