Please FIRE Duke Tobin

[TheBengalsMind]

From my understanding only 6 teams in the NFL rely on their own in-house scouting service (Bears, Browns, Colts, Patriots, Ravens and Raiders).

The other teams use The National (That's the Bengals scouting service) or Blesto (The Steelers scouting service).

Both of these scouting services employee hundreds and thousands of different scouts. To my knowledge if a team requests a scouting report on a player, they'll get it.

Then they will review the scouting report and film in-house among the coaches and front office. So most teams get the same scouting report as the Bengals are getting.

It's the in-house scouting and decision making that seems to be lacking here lately.

Whether that's more on Duke Tobin, the coaches or the family (our FO) I'm not sure.

One thing is for sure that recent draft misses have caused us to be in our current situation to begin with.

Especially, the misses along the O-line.

We need a good draft, like the 2011 draft was for us, pretty badly.

We hit 3 of 7 draft picks with Green, Dalton and Boling.

We need 3 of 7 this year as well at QB (Burrow), OL and LB if we want a big turnaround next year.
