Fallout of a Regime Change

I agree. Most were the correct choices to move on from on top of that, but most negative reactions from the fan are due to sentimentality more than anything, and aside from ugly break-ups like Dlap, I'm sure there's no animosity from both the fans and the orgs towards them.
For example, it was probably for the best for both the Bengals and AJ that they split, but Green will always be a Bengal and I'm sure many in the fanbase and the team would be happy to see him win a ring with the Cards.

I didn't really have an interest in the Bengals in the 90's as a kid because the team wasn't competitive (I liked hockey and baseball more), and so I didn't really gravitate into football until 2004-2005 with the Marvin Lewis era.
From the time that I really started watching football, the Bengals hadn't had more than a year or two in a row with a losing record.
You could say I'm entitled or spoiled, but this stretch of 5 seasons with a losing record has been really difficult to keep my interest.
Toss in the fact I moved out of state a few years ago, so I couldn't get most games locally televised.

When the team is completely uncompetitive, it's better to watch more interesting games as a neutral, look at the draft and developing young individuals, etc but I get it if you enjoy following a team specifically. I imagine it's even more difficult for someone who enjoys baseball and hockey more, as the playoffs of baseball and the regular season of hockey conflict with the NFL.
