He is making factually incorrect claims.

"The Bengals don't make trades on draft day". --> They quite literally just did that in the 2021 draft.

"They don't have a GM." --> This is essentially wordplay. Duke Tobin is as much a GM as anyone with the title "GM" would be.

"Mike Brown is a notorious meddler." --> This one cannot be disputed on an objective level, but it's also speculative garbage that is being pulled from a single scene of the 2010 Hard Knocks show of which nothing came and a 30-years dated '90s reputation. There is no evidence that this is true in the year 2021.

"The Bengals are cheap." --> This is even worse outdated horse shit from someone that doesn't have a single clue about how the Bengals franchise behaves and instead relies upon an extremely dated reputation born of towels, Gatorade, and a Chevy Lumina from the pre-Palmer era. They've been huge spenders in free agency two years in a row.

Stop taking these people seriously. All of you, every single one of you who spends your time contributing to a Cincinnati Bengals message board, knows this team and this organization better than Colin Cowherd or any of these other worthless national media personalities ever could. Use your own eyeballs and your own judgment and stop allowing these idiots to have any influence whatsoever over the spirits of this fanbase.

Well said Jx3!  

Although I'm not a Mike Brown fan the organization currently seems to running a lot differently.  The "cheap" narrative is getting old.  Tell that to Trey Hendrickson, Mike Hilton, Tray Wayans, Larry Ogunjobi, Vonn Bell and Riley Reiff.  Also, they will find a way to extend Bates without destroying the teams ability to continue to improve.

The Bengals have always been good at managing the cap, they just haven't made the right choices on the roster.  Now, for whatever reason, maybe with Zac's help, they are finding the right fits.

Cowherd is just another talking head who talks out of his A$$.  His opinions are irrelevant and inaccurate.
