I was all for blowing up the defense but why one of the best offenses in the league? Marv tried to fix something that wasn't broke...
Anyway, it sort of worked in 2009 with sweeping and winning the AFC North. But 5 or 6 of those wins could have easily been losses... And they were in 2010.
I think it was due to the shoddy pass blocking and CP coming off the elbow injury. They didn't want to risk getting him banged up again.
Not saying it was the right call, but I get it.

The rule is basically this...
If it's a former player who is still playing (on a different team), we move the thread.
If it's a former Bengal who is retired, it stays in Jungle Noise.
A CP thread now is no different than a thread about Boomer, Chad, Dillon, etc etc.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
