So my point is Marvin got it every bit as bad as Dalton, if not worse. Despite a winning record.
There's a vocal group that thinks that way, sure. I'm just saying that I believe the majority of Bengals fans would tell you that yes, Marvin was a pretty good coach despite his shortcomings. That small vocal group is a lot more pronounced on a small messageboard like this one, especially since they tend to be the ones who'll bring him up the most.
I think Andy gets more slack then Marvin does, but that's mainly because Marvin built up quite a bit of equity by turning us around when he took over. He banked a lot of goodwill in those first 3 years. Marvin took over a dumpster fire, while Andy took over for a guy that many people still view as the golden child at QB based on 2 seasons that happened years before he even got here (and 2 seasons that happened well after he left).
