The Bengals haven't been a punchline since the 90s. Such a tired narrative that the Bengals have had zero success since Burrow arrived.
eeeeeeehhhhhh, it depends on what you define as a punch line.
National media literally invented the "Dalton Line" to describe the kind of QB that you SHOULD replace, but your team may not have the football acumen to replace (afraid of failure, settle for mediocrity).
I consider the Dalton years largely wasted potential because of our refusal to look for a true franchise QB. That could definitely be interpreted as a punch line.
