Until our offense lost Green, Boling, Glenn, and our first pick in the draft they were not bereft of talent with Mixon, Boyd and Dalton.
Or maybe no one here gave Marvin enough credit for winning six games with no talent on the roster.
Buddy, I not only watch every game, but I was there to witness it live as well.
- Dunlap very good
- Atkins Very good (but getting old)
- Boyd is very good.
- Sam Hubbard very good
- Mixon is very good.
- Bates very good.
- Lawson I am not sold on... He's a specialist role player, IMO. Never really impacted games reliably.
- Jackson is good. I'm indifferent towards him. Adam Jones was a far superior player, I
- Green didn't play in 2019
- Boling didn't play in 2019
- Glenn was a headcase in 2019 NOT GOOD
- First round pick didn't play in 2019
- Dalton is a journeyman backup. No need to mention him here. He doesn't belong on the same page w these guys. He was clearly a product of a great team around him for most of his "Good Andy" years. His is a Kitna clone.
- ROOKIE HEAD COACH + 2019 Bengals fielding 6 good to very good players (3 of which were very young) out of 22 starters.... 1 of which was NOT the QB = recipe for NFL disaster. And that's what the Bengals delivered that season.
2nd season: Rebuild + COVID
3rd season: No excuses to not be at least 8-9 or better.
