I did, too, but changed my mind as something began to seem off to me. Passed over a bunch of times, then ends up in the sinking ship that was Washington in the same position. After the house cleaning there, he was rocketed out of the NFL. 

To the thread at hand.
Bengals just had to get rid of Lewis. It also happened to be a time where the Rams were thought to be a creation of the football gods. Bengals end up with the QB coach, somehow, as the head coach. Bengals continue to suck through two years to get Joe Burrow. Sadly, the O-line was still built out of webble wobbles, and Joe's knee gets turned into carnitas. That allows us to draft Chase, with the urging of a limping Burrow. These champions return to championship type things. Everything else around them has since burned down, with no future in site.

Let's play the trade game. Of all the "bad teams" who would you think they would have better success with: Chase/Burrow or Taylor? Only one side of that equation have been highly successful without the other.
