The hype on this board alone, people predicting 9 wins cause of Burrow and comparing him to Montana.... then around week 9 when we have 1 or 2 wins it'll be time to say if only we had this FA or that FA or this injured player back.
Mike isn't dumb, he actually knows how to make $$$, and that is the only goal. Wins are a nice thing to fall into...but not his priority.
Plus the way the Roster seems depleted to Fans before some of the Bengals own players come back, then token Free Agents get added and then the Draft.
Take 2019 for example:
Fans fear Dennard may leave then he is signed to return. (same with Eifert, Uzomah, Hopkins in 2019) - fans feel better
Hart signed to stay in 2019 & he was at least better than Cedric so fans can partly understand it though say paid too much
Preston Brown brought in (fans feeling better)
John Miller and John Jerry signed for line depth (fans feel a little better)
B. W. Webb is signed so corner depth seems better to fans
Then they DRAFT: Jonah Williams, Drew Sample, Germaine Pratt, Michael Jordan, Trayveon Williams etc
Post Draft the Roster appears to have been built back up from the Pre-Free Agency depletion look it had & Fans envision Holes being filled by the Draft picks etc.
The moves seem logical to Fans who buy back in and this year the buying back in will be on Steroids with a Joe Burrow pick... :heart:
