Tua's agent: "I hoping Cincy falls in love with Joe Burrow."

If you were a new fan to professional football and didn't grow up in Cincinnati or your parents didn't root for the Bengals, what would make you actually become a Bengals fan right now?

I bring this up because that's basically what Palmer is getting at. Barring some loyalty to the city or to the team your relatives root for, the organization has not really done anything to draw in more fans. Many believe they need to change their ways to have true top-tier success but they don't agree and therefore don't change (much).

Winning (specifically postseason) grows the fan base and the Bengals haven't done a good job with that. Yes, they've been better some other franchises, but those teams aren't growing their fan base either.
