The Bengals drafts  have also been awful the last few years with Joe Mixon being the exception. Picking Mixon was a fluke made possible only because he screwed up as a kid and other teams did not take a guy who should have gone in the first 5 picks.

The franchise needs a complete and total shakeup in coaches, philosophy,  and personnel department.

Sweeping changes give the team a shot in about 2 to 3 years.

Hiring an insider who will continue the Mike Brown way and keeping personnel department the same means back to the future with team moving in 2026 because lack of support from Cincinnati fans.

I wish Sam Wyche was 20 years younger. That is the type of leader that is needed.

I agree the Steeler lose was a critical point in this path... and drafting has been not turned out as well as we hoped but to say Mixon was a fluke I disagree, no player is a given when drafted, we can start listing other teams bust in 1/2 round over last three years of drafting what was believed to be talented players.. give credit to the team for success of players also like Mixon  Jackson, Boyd, Lawson and Hubbard and I believe Vigil then be critical of picks like Fisher, Cedric, Ross, Redman, Westerman.. etc..
