Why do the Bengals best players almost always leave in some sort of controversy...

Boomer wanted out as well. The obvious is answer is Mike Brown. Could you imagine what Mike Brown's winning percentage would be without Marvin Lewis? I can't blame players for wanting to leave when the Bengals average 6.4 wins a year since Mike Brown took over. That's over the course of 30 years. 6.4 wins a season. If you remove what Lewis did, it drops to around 4.3 wins a season. I can't blame anyone who doesn't want to get their brains bashed in just to go 4-12 every year because of Mike Brown.
