When the Steelers do it they are smart, but when the Bengals do it they are stupid and don't care about winning.
True, but I think certain franchises have a better history of not missing a beat on such things. Believe me, I wanted SO SO SO much for the Steelers to stink after San Antonio Holmes and later Mike Wallace left, but alas, they did not. If the Bengals let AJ Green walk I would be more likely to cite the Corey Dillon situation than the Mike Wallace one. That's not a perfectly symmetrical argument, but you get it. I have to admit the fact that we give the Steelers hell for going 8-8 says a lot about the standards to which we hold them, as well.
