Paul Daugherty: If Lewis is out, shouldn't Dalton follow?

What people might need to be afaid of...this team going into a true rebuild mode.
And the reason may not actually be what you think...
If this team goes into a true rebuild mode, there will be very little hope of getting to the playoffs and competing for a title.
Cincinnati is a baseball city, not a football city. When this team isn't in contention, the stadium is very empty. The local fans don't have much desire/incentive to go to a game if the team isn't doing well and chooses to do other things instead.
Given this is Mike Brown's only source of income, he and his family do take a hit when people don't come to games.
If he's not making money from this market, he could look to move the team, which I think is more likely than selling the team to someone who wants to keep it in Cincinnati.
