AJ Green: Lets Face the Truth

[Murdock2420]

I may be in the minority here, but I'm not upset with A.J. for his play and what looks like a lack of effort, and I hope he goes to another team.

A.J. is just the next in a long line of Bengal greats that has had it with the franchise since Mike took over and turned their back on the team or just given up completely.

You have a guy who was a winner in college, probably a winner in high school, comes here and has some success but can never get over the hump and just watches the piss poor management style from the front office and the bad decisions in personal and coaching and finally... just can't take it anymore.

This is like watching the Corey Dillon movie again, or the Takeo Spikes or Carson Palmer, or insert great player who just got sick of wasting away working for incompetence.

This team is bad, and has been bad since the 90's. I'm not talking win loss record, it is the way the team is run. This franchise is viewed as a joke in the NFL, has been since the 90s. It is viewed as cheap and behind the times. When you have the talent of a guy like Green, who is used to winning and used to success and you get stuck in this never ending cycle of failure, eventually.... you break. I think A.J. is there now. He is just over the Bengal way of failing.

He wasn't born here, so unlike the fans, he'd be just as happy playing on the Rams, Saints, Patriots, etc if he meant a change of culture and winning.

What sucks is we all choose this or were born into it and continue to have hope, since the other option is ... not caring or picking a new team. But the players, they all have a point where loyalty ends, and the desire to leave a broken team and broken system wins out.

I hope Green takes the season off, and gets a chance to play for a real NFL team next year, he has more then served his punishment out here.
