Are people still bitching about the FO? The same FO that had experts and former players raving across every medium that the Bengals had one of if not THE most talented rosters in the entire league for several years running?
The ol' "blame Mike Brown" doesn't hold water and hasn't since 2011 at least. Marvin has gotten LESS with MORE. That's on him. He had a great mix of youth and talent on the field. Unfortunately for the players, Marvin's talent and abilities failed to match their level. Their ceiling is much much higher than Marvin's.
The only thing I blame Mike Brown for is forming deep, personal relationships with his coaches to the point he can't let them go because it would be like firing a family member. I then blame the NFL for fostering an environment where Mike doesn't have to make tough decisions every year to succeed on the field due to revenue sharring.
