Gruden went 0-3 against teams with winning records, and he lost 4 games to teams with losing records.  Grudens winning percentage just against teams with losing records (.692) was lower than Marvin's overall record (.733) which included 7 games against teams with winning records.

There is no comparison between those two teams.  

If you gave the talent that the Bengals had when Marvin had those records the Redskins probably would win the super bowl. They already look like a legit team with a far inferior QB and OL and receiving weapons. They have about the same defense as we did, but Gruden is doing just as much with a LOT less, and I guess you don't want to acknowledge that. Cousins/RGIII/McCoy is no where near the QB as what Palmer was, and the Redskins receivers couldn't even dream about being as good as Chad and Housh. The OL difference is about the same. The Bengals had one of the most dominant lines in the game, and the Redskins have a middle of the pack OL.

Gruden is out coaching Marvin, but Marvin had WAAAAAAAY more talent... WAAAAY more, and that's the ONLY reason why Marvin had a better record.

EDIT: Marvin went 5-5 against teams with a worse than .500 record his first year. You said that he only lost one game against teams with losing record... Yeah, they lost 5 times more than what you said JUST their first year. And where did you get that Marvin had a .733 win %? His first two years he went .500 and his 3rd year (his second best year he's ever had) was .6875. The ONLY time he had anywhere close to .733 win % was in 2015.
