The team is awful- particularly at o line and LB- plus a weak and ultra low cost coaching staff and no indoor facility. LSU has more quality in its infrastructure than the Bengals and a much stronger culture committed to excellence.

Bengals are a step down/lesser organization than LSU.

Ask yourself this question. If you were a rising star trained and developed by a great organization with great leadership ( or the parent of this person), would you voluntarily take a step down to ( or want your son to play for) a lesser organization with poor leadership with a track record that accepts mediocrity?

Absent the draft, Burrow and any other potentially great young player would not give the Bengals two seconds of consideration.

The whole Bengals attitude is so contrary to the culture of the city were I grew up- where people always strived to be the best they could be in education, sports, and their chosen work or business. 

Pete Rose exemplified the Cincinnati spirt I knew as a kid - a quality completely lacking in the long term management philosophy of the Bengals,





 

I would like to think I would be more like Kurt Warner, and take one of the two (he actually took both) of the losingest franchises in NFL history to the Super Bowl.  I get the recent frustrations, but I think that a lot of people are only focusing on the last four years and not the really strong teams that were built with the peaks at 2005 and 2015.
