Dalton is not the future not sure what they are thinking. He better not be anyway cause I am not a check down Andy fan at all anymore. ZT most likely thinks one win will save his job.

Can you imagine being a Bengal?
"I think I'm an NFL player. I have a helmet. I hear whistles when I go to work. So why do people feel bad for me? I tell them I'm a Cincinnati Bengal and they say 'thoughts and prayers' or laugh at me. People would not do that to a professional football player, right? We had a red headed QB, and I was told he was gone, but there's still a red head back there and wants me to call him Ryan. Now they say the QB is Dalton, and he looks a lot like the guy from last month."

Mike believed those things and now he has buyer’s remorse.  I imagine Duke Tobin isn’t sleeping well at night either; no one wants the 0-16 stigma on their resume.

Mike Brown has a few redeeming qualities.  First, he hates the Cleveland Browns with a seething passion over how they betrayed his father.  I totally get that.  Marvin Lewis didn’t get fired until he lost to Cleveland twice in one season — and the same fate awaits Zac Taylor if he drops two games to the Stains.

But, now that we've seen what Finley DOESN'T bring to the table, I have no problem going back to Dalton.

Who do we play in 2 of the last 5 games ? MB would do anything to avoid being swept by the Browns ! He demanded AD go back in for that reason #1. The #2 reason he knows if we did end up 0-16 there would be more pressure to actually have to make changes. Fire ZT ? Trade players for picks ? Get a real free agent ? And with that basically admit he was wrong ! He'll do whatever it takes to avoid admission of failure, his ego is that big.

Like me and many others have been saying for weeks now all he'll need is a couple wins and a couple competitive losses to throw out there at the end of season presser, I can hear it now.

"We did some good things to end the year, we like how we got it together. We knew we were going to struggle early, blah, blah".

In other words we're gonna stand pat ! We're not gonna do all the things regular teams in this position would do. That would require me admitting I've been wrong all along. That would require MB to actually do what a GM does. He thinks he's above that.

His ego is more important than draft position or anything else.

This is the hell of being a Bengals fan.

Zac: "All we needed was the first win.  We were hindered by injuries and the team was getting adjusted to the personnel and staff.  This should usher in a productive off-season and a very bright future going forward.  Blah blah blah blah"

Sound about right?

We'll stand pat with current players - no trades. Stand pat with draft picks, usual free agent dumpster diving.

We feel we'll be competitive with this bunch on and on.  :sick: :sick: :sick:

They should have traded Dalton at the deadline. Dalton winning games and hurting draft position is the worse possible  outcome for this team long term.

Easily one of the worst I’ve seen since pre-Ben.

(11-26-2019, 11:00 AM)Daddy-O Wrote: This organization is flat out comical!

There are only a couple of reasons to start Dalton: 1) to prevent a mutiny in the locker room, or 2) hoping he shows very well to increase his trade value.

The problem with #2 is if he does well the Bengals will probably win, thus screwing up the #1 pick.  

This organization can't even tank appropriately.  I wonder how many times Mike Brown would've been fired throughout his career had he not been born into a sure thing NFL franchise and a commoner like the rest of us?  My guess is a lot!
