EXACTLY!
But reading Fred's posts (not to put words in his mouth) he seems to be hanging on to the idea that it's not IMPOSSIBLE for Marvin to win one because he keeps getting there. And, of course you have to get there to be able to win one, right? So that's the idea behind keeping Marvin.
Frankly, IMO, with the talent the Bengals have and have had, one playoff win is not redeeming for the failures. A conference championship game, yes, because it would be real progress and useful experience to springboard from. But advancing just one round? With this group? Absolutely not acceptable. The Bengals have been well stacked the last 3 seasons and it should be expected for them to overcome equally talented teams when it matters. They've been there 5 freaking times and have failed to get better.
