I'm sure the CP guys will defend this as well, and CP does a good job of coming off friendly while he's subtlety bashing the FO, but it is what it is.
Again, why now? Before the Super Bowl? If you want to casually bash the Front Office for what happened during your tenure (that ended 11 years ago) in May or June? Fine. After a terrible year? Makes sense.
Before the Super Bowl? Seems like a weird time to bring up bad things that happened 11 to 17 years ago.
And again, I'd respect his take more if he didn't try to paint the Bengals as being cheap with the roster when they spent $200+ million on free agents over a 2 year span.
Keep your take fair and reasonable, or you come across as bitter.
Also, your past experience doesn't = how things are now. 2010 was a long time ago.
If you, being a 'native Cincinnatian', went and played football for the LA Rams and they were run like the Bengals, wouild you give 2 shits about when or where you recounted how they were run and how it was well below the NFL norm?
