The Bengals have 3 elite players...and a bunch of average or less players

But, other than these 3/4 players, the rest of the roster is average or less.

Our defense is bad at every level. The defensive line is bad even with Trey.

The LB's are slow and get out of position a decent bit. I don't know. I thought we had good LB's a couple years ago, but now I don't.

And the secondary is very bad. CTB is probably a #3 CB on a good defense. Here's he's #1. The safeties are bad. Our #2 CB might not get any snaps on like the Steelers.

The draft picks on defense have been flops. Carter is out of the league. Murphy/Ossai/Jenkins just aren't making many plays.

This is it in a nutshell. Great post. Our fans overvalued the talent, then look for a scapegoat. I still think Wilson is a good, not great LB, and Pratt just has flashes here and there. Also, some of the players would be on most teams' practice squads and they're getting meaningful reps here. 

After watching a Super Bowl run dismantled and fumbled away by this front office, I changed my perspective on Marvin and I think I overrated some of his talent.
