Palmer and Dalton had fine careers in Cincinnati. They also both had quality offensive weapons and OL during the years they competed for playoff contention.

Will they get an organization that tries to go "all-in" for them by going to get those 1-2 elite FAs once they feel it's their window to contend? Previous history has indicated no to the extent that many fans and outsiders would have liked to see, but the ownership does feel they are adding adequate pieces to put together a solid enough team.

One example in recent years is the Bengals drafting many OL in the first two rounds. Ogbuehi, Fisher, Price, and Jonah Williams. The problems have been that they have gone after players with clear limitations (verdict still out on Williams but some criticized his length) and the coaching staff was never able to develop them into what they thought they'd become. But they did try to get players to improve the team.

When I think of ruining QBs, I think of the Browns or Raiders.

Yeah, no team ruins QB’s like Cleveland. How many have they had since we drafted Palmer? 20?

Yet I don’t remember all this bs when Mayfield was drafted.
