Why is Mike Brown always bashed as the worst owner in football

-Both Zeitler and Steinbach were overpaid in free and it would have been a mistake if Mike had paid that much to keep them.

-He paid Bobbie Williams and Clint Boling enough to stay here instead of leaving n free agency. 

-He used a first round pick on a Center (Price) and an OG (Zeitler).

To my recollection, Bengals have never had a Top-5 paid OG or C on their roster, have they?
Have they ever given an IOL $10+ mill APY?

EDIT - Currently, Cappa is the 13th highest-paid OG based on APY at $8.75 mill. Karras is the 13th highest-paid C based on APY at $6 mill.
8 OGs are paid $10+ mill APY. 7 Cs are paid $10+ mill APY.

I'm not saying the Bengals made bad signings. I like both Karras and Cappa. But they haven't seemed to go after premier IOL on the market when some people have thought they should have but didn't want to pay that premium price.
