Can’t give him all the credit if he can’t take all the blame. Bengals front office has been the control and always has been. Taylor never had as much pull as Marvin could after years in control. He sits at the table but the chair has always been small.
Exactly, but you give him NO credit for any of the good, lol.
Let's look at picks other than Sample, Burrow, Chase, and Finley.... Logan Wilson, Jonah Williams, Tee Higgins, Ossai looked great in preseason, then the impact FAs of Bell, Awuzie, Hendrickson, Reader, Ogunjobi, Reiff, the trade for Hill, Apple, and a few role players.
So, by your own rationale, it's hard to give him all of the blame and none of the credit.
Also, this team has taken a drastic turn on how they play the FA game, and since we have the same front office we've always had, and the only difference is the coaching staff, couldn't one deduce they've at least had an influence?
