That said, Marvin started in 2003 (his first draft pick was Palmer), so this only includes 4 seasons before Marv and 14 seasons with him. So it's still mostly Marvin. I would also add that the last 18 years have included at least 4 down seasons for almost all teams outside of say the Patriots and Steelers.
Fwiw, this wasn't intended as a "bash Marv" thread. Just found the stats interesting and thought I'd share. Make of the stats what you will.
Those 4 years though were simply horrible. I'm certain they would have an impact on an 18 year span.
1999 4-12
2000 4-12
2001 6-10
2002 2-14 Worst record ever in Bengals history.
To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
