Back to Dalton we go

OT?  You can't have an OL this bad if you're doing everything you can to make things better.  Ced is gone.  Fisher is gone.  Price will be gone soon if he doesn't improve dramatically.  Sample doesn't even see the field it seems.

If we can't get these guys coached up, better go outside the organization to find players who already know what they're doing.  That's tough to do because it costs the Bengals more to bring in quality players.


So, if I'm wearing the blinders, what really is the problem on why we can't succeed at these 5 positions?  Ok, 4.  I'll give you a pass on Jonah.

**EDIT** - Actually, Ced is rated at 67.3 with the Jaguars, which is far above anyone we have, so I think that's pretty comical.

I was adressing your claim that the Bengals would not even "pursue starting caliber linemen in the offseason".

I agree that the front office makes a lot of bad decisiosn and that our coaching has not been impressive recently.  But that is different from claiming that they don't even try.  Using a first round pick on an O-linemen is "pursuing startring caliber linemen".  Trading for one of the highest paid tackles in the league is "pursuing starting caliber linemen".
