As for the FO, that’s a tough one. We can hope things to be different (which we do year to year) and some things have changed for the better, but far from a FO comparison of the likes of New England and others alike. One of the biggest voids in our FO is the “win now” attitude. We just don’t seem to have that mindset like so many others do.
Yep. I still think we need more scouts. If teams like Pittsburgh and New England have 2 to 3 times as many scouts as us...we need to copy that model. People can tell me all day that you can subscribe to scouting services...but so do the Patriots and they have way more scouts.
Plus, the how we spend in free agency. The Bengals would rather sign 4 mediocre guys than 2 solid contributors. And I'm not talking go out and give a LB a $72 million contract. I'm talking go get LJ Fort.
They don't seem to do a good job of finding that younger guy who may have gotten some opportunities on another team and shined then was forced into a backup role when the starter returned. Diamonds in the ruff so to speak.
