I even give Marvin credit for shaping those Solid Rosters by influencing Mike.
Marvin then must have responsibility when Rosters are not so good & this is what Fred cannot tolerate because it shifts a lot of Mike's responsibility for outcomes to Marvin.
The 1990's Mike GM either improved on his own or was "influenced" by Marvin into being a better GM during Marvin's era.
No matter how one slices it, Marvin has not been Roster deficient in all of his losses when compared to the other Head Coach he opposes.
The Playoff team Rosters were not "worst in the NFL" those years thus the Bengal GM was not the "worst in the NFL" those years.
Marvin helped improve the GM outcomes but by doing so LOSES the hiding place behind Mike Brown of it all being Mike's fault.
