The Reds in MLB are small market compared to Yankees and others......However TV Revenue Sharing and the Draft Structure in The NFL is Parity. We can NOT claim SMALL MARKET as an excuse for Mike Brown as we do for Reds. The Bengals make as much money as anybody per TV Revenue Sharing. Plus there is Salary Cap unlike MLB. The NFL is set up for no owner to be this bad over the last 30 years.I will remind you that the Bengals have been to two super bowls and there is more than ONE ONLY ONE who haven't. Cleveland, Jacksonville, Detroit and Houston(Texans). We may be bad but don't try to say were are an exclusive club.
If you were talking Reds, I would agree and say dump Vottos fat salary in Money Ball. Bengals in NFL is NOT the same. The problem with The Bengals is NOT the NFL. The problem with the Bengals is the Front Office.
However I just started a thread on how I HOPE they make a Plan Of Attack for 2020's and Get After It. The NFL IS set up for all teams including Bengals to turn things around, BUT this front office has to want to. They Have To Want To.
I will say Bengals have some big salary cap eaters who The Window Of Opportunity in 2011 has CLOSED ON. Dump them for much needed rebuilding draft picks and try to Get At It in 2020's Decade. There is nothing stopping them, in spite of your view of NFL that I disagree with. Remember BENGALS are ONLY team to not win play-off game in 30 years and also have most 0-4 starts. Not the other teams. ONLY THE BENGALS....ONLY. ..It's not the NFL, poor excuse, It is a Bengals Front Office Issue. They have no plan of attack, unlike Paul Brown. The good teams have a plan, a system that rarely changes. The Bengals need to get a Plan Of Attack and GO AT IT.
