In some ways he might have just been taking Takeo's lead. But that excuse only goes so far. Man's record in Cincy was still 34-78, which includes 2003. So 26-70 pre-Marv. Wasn't even around for 96, which I forgot about... that was Hearst- whom I also forgot about!

I'm not saying a RB can be an elevator like a QB, but if he was as important as he thinks it would have been somehow reflected in team record. In his case I should hope it wasn't. In 2002 he had one of his best years: >83% of all RB carries. And they went 2-14, as we all know. I don't want to lay it at his feet alone, but we're talking about the greatest players in franchise history here- the cream of the crop. There will be a time to "honor" those putrid teams too. But that's not yet imo.

Yeah...Takeo Spikes was not staying, PERIOD. Didn't matter about Marv, didn't matter about anything. He was gone. 

Where's the hate for Takeo? Is it because he didn't throw his uni in the crowd after his last game?
