I been a Bengals fan since 1982 and was able to weather the lost decade from 92-02. I think having Marvin at least gave me hope this organization was rebounding and going to be a contender going forward. Then Zac Taylor comes on board and anyone who says Taylor has less to work with than Marvin did in 2003 is kidding themselves. Marvin came in and rebuilt that team from bottom up from free agency and the draft, and they were competitive after 2 years. Taylor's been here for 3 years and he's won 6 games.
Anyway, I could get off on a tangent. However, i think this is the least optimistic I've been about this franchise future success in my time as a fan. We need a plan. So far from what I can see there is no plan. They haven't gotten better yet IMO.
Maybe by the end of FA and the draft they'll prove me wrong but I honestly question building your defense around a guy who more than likely wont last the entire 2021 season because his defense will be gashed and give up 30+ points per game.
Can anyone talk me down off a ledge? lol Sorry for the negativity guys.
Tis a fine post, Sir. Welcome to the board!
No need to apologize about the "negativity" either. Reading your post, it seems more realistic than anything. If you aren't a little bit negative or a tad pessimistic after these last few years than I'm not sure what team it is you're following.
