I aagree with your post. I truly believe he wants the team to succeed and win. He's just not very good at it. I think he had some misguided ideas early on and the team and fans and himself suffered as a result, but none of those bad decisions were intended. Hell, he's still making mistakes like the rest of us, but he did keep the team in Cincinnati and named the stadium after the old man and if it were as bad as some people portray it to be none of us would be Bengals fans at all.
