Our owner/GM simply isn't getting it done. We want to build through the draft, yet have the smallest scouting department in the NFL. There is no accountability for the coaching staff. If you get in good with the Browns, you have a job for life. With obvious areas that need improvement, we're going to roll into the season with $18m in cap space. Our owner/GM can easily be questioned on his desire to win. The list goes on and on, but I'll stop there.

As far as our Bengals are concerned, we could let anyone in the world be owner/GM and they could do as well in the postseason as our current owner/GM.

Depends on how you see things.  Making the playoffs is a certain degree of postseason success, imo.  This "I could have as much postseason success line" that keeps making the rounds is a pretty silly argument, imo.  You may as well say you should be the starting QB, because no way you could have less playoff wins than Andy Dalton, or you should be a NASCAR driver because no way you could win less races than Danica Patrick.

Sorry, but I refuse to get worked up over cap space until the cutoff for the year.  People complain about it every single year, then they sign some extensions and/or bring in some players.
