The Bengals made the coaching change they made (firing Lewis and seemingly hiring Taylor) solely due to attendance concerns. If you thing they are going to willingly tank, you're nuts.
And they shouldn't, either. If you want Lawrence, fine (I sure do!), but don't throw away a year or two to get there. Get creative and start stockpiling draft picks for 2021 *now* (you could swing your current first rounders for the same picks in 2021 IMO), then package all those picks you have to move up as high as you can if you want him, because someone will bite for multiple picks in the 1st. Tanking is stupid and is probably the #1 reason I can't stand the NBA any more.
