I think that Zac Taylor and Duke Tobin have found a formula working together, the Browns love Zac and more likely to be more responsive to requests, the staff has gained experience, and things look very bright.
I'm not trying to be that guy here, but I cringe so hard anytime I see someone act like Mike brown had anything at all to do with this seasons success besides just dumb luck! There's a very simple reason the country is falling in love with the Bengals right now...its simply because we're the little underdogs who everyone has always felt sorry for...SIMPLY BECAUSE OF MIKE BROWN!!
I honestly want to think that the reason why we're in the Super Bowl, is because MB finally realized that he had to change how he ran this organization. But, anyone who thinks that is honestly just lying to themselves!
If you don't believe me, all that needs to be done to look for yourself at how we still have the smallest scouting department by a massive margin.
Or, how we currently have millions and millions of unused cap space for this year's team. I believe we're in the bottom 5 of unused cap money for this year, and have the most to spend for next year. How much better could that O-line have been this year, if another 30 or 40 million would have been spent this past off-season? ( full disclosure...I'm not certain what the exact number us for this year. I'm assuming it's near that amount considering next year we will have around 50 mill I believe?)
Or how, the team has to still go to either a local high school, or University of Cincinnati if the team wants to practice in an indoor practice field. I honestly still can't believe that a local high school has one, but a NFL team in the same city doesn't!
There's countless more examples, but I'm tired, and it's late.
MB is hands down the worst thing that has ever happened to the city of Cincinnati, and it's surrounding areas! I sincerely hope and pray that when it's time to hamd the Bengals the Lombardi trophy, MB isn't up there to accept it because he fell asleep on the toilet with 5 minutes left in the game and everyone forgot to wake him up!
One last thing...I want to make it clear that I didn't criticize anyone else that you had listed. Even though I haven't agreed with many of their moves over the years, I sincerely do believe that the incompetence the organization has shown over the past decade that most of them have been involved with is for the most part, not due to them.
