Yeah...and ZT as OC of the Dolphins managed to actually make Lazor's offense WORSE.

It is called supporting your favorite team. You should try it sometime, it's fun.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work but expecting people to hate their favorite teams new head coach BEFORE he has even coached a game is pretty rediculous.

There are absolutely things I support about the team. I just give opinions. I feel ZT is underwhelming.

I think Green, Mixon, and Boyd are GREAT players. Mixon does amazing things behind a bad offensive line. <--- There's some positivity.

I'm not just going to be like, WOW - ZT is GREAT! He's going to turn us into a contender! If I don't believe it.

If you want coaches hired by other teams, I think Belicheck would be a good coach for the Bengals.

Did you form those opinions prior to them playing a single regular season NFL game? Especially Boyd??

Oh ZT has coached games...you guys just don't like to admit that the results of his track record are bad.


0 playoff wins in 28 years. Do you think this is our year to win 1?

In a league when most teams have won 5+ since we last won 1.

Actually YES on Boyd. He grew up about 30 minutes from where I live and I followed him in college and saw him play in person. I wanted the Bengals to draft him.

I'll wait for your applause now.

He has not been an NFL Headcoach before. Probably not, but I also do not expect him to work miracles with a subpar roster. I mean Marvin had 16 years why cant I give ZT 1? 

Well he did turn Cincinnati into Rome at the height of the Roman empire so there's that..

Ok. So you think the roster is subpar.

Lets get to know you a bit:

How did you feel about the free agent signings? The draft? How about the coordinators?

Favorite external free agent signing? Webb, John Jerry, John Miller, or Kerry Wynn?

50% of our free agent signings were named John.

Free agent signings: Meh... but expected. 

Draft: some good picks...injuries will take away some optimism to 1st rounder. Some good potential

Coordinators: cautiously optimistic. 

16 years of Marvin, I can give some grace to new staff.

Don't care for any of them but Miller and Wynn will probably contribute the most especially when Dennard is back and Webb moves back on Depth Chart.

I did not ignore it.  In fact I commented on you making up stuff and claiming it was true.

Maybe Taylor was the only one willing to work under the terms mike Brown was offering.

Remember all of the DC's we tried to hire that turned us down.

He was absolutely in play.  Bengals just moved too slow.

I have no idea.  All I know is that he was looking for a job and we had one to offer.

How do you know he wouldn't come here?
