You can't state the obvious about how bad of a track record Mike Brown has - we all know he does! - but him and his family aren't just going to read the posts and decide to step aside. It's a pointless discussion to have... we all know it and we're all stuck with it.

You also seem to have this weird idea that this board is full of people who blindly support the Bengals in everything they do, and I haven't seen that at all. They get criticized when they deserve to get criticized. You seem to be confusing optimism (ie, "I'd like to see what ZT can do before I pass judgement") and seem to interpret that as "ZT is God's gift to coaching". You read someone say "well it's only one day into free agency, I'll reserve judgement" and interpret that as "I am perfectly fine with what the Bengals are doing". It's like some weird type of persecution complex.

I mean geez, if you can't feign or work up the slightest bit of optimism in the offseason how have you ever made it decades as a Bengals fan? Lord knows they don't exactly hand out positive vibes on a yearly basis, take it where you can get it.

I've also found that when I do complain, the reaction I mostly get is STFU.

And you're also the guy that said 'Let's wait and see' on Lazor and Austin. Are you ready to render a verdict on their tenures?

Render a verdict?  That is some serious nonsense.  Maybe I don't take myself that seriously.

And you just keep missing the point.

And you still don't get it.

You have to admit that this Hart signing is a new recent low.
