Stability...its boring but its better than the alternative

[CageTheBengal]

I actually enjoy the conservative nature of this franchise at times. Believe it or not I think the guy in the Cincy locker room are very happy that they play for the Bengals.

1. Honoring contracts to veterans who have given their prime to the franchise. (aka Leon Hall)
2. Not cutting the cord on players prematurely and giving them time to mature not only as players but as men. A lot of these guys seem to respect M.Brown.
3. The culture in the locker room is a family culture. These guys will fight for each other until the final snap.
   

These are the things the Stains will never understand. They want instant success and have been swinging blindly in the dark for years. Between their coaching carousel and their free agency sprees they have a snow balls chance in hell of sniffing success.

It's been a long road and not a smooth one at that but the Bengals franchise has been competing at a high level and by all accounts It looks like they are prepared to sustain that success for a long time.

   They were showing promise last year, but then ditched Hoyer half way thru the season.

   Every time they take a step forward they (or one of their players) does something to bring them 2 steps back... Josh Gordon comes to mind.

Hoyer isn't perfect at all but damn he's the best QB the Browns have had in the last decade. He's getting the ball to Hopkins just like he did to Gordon.

Another short-sighted choice by the biggest joke in football.
