As for "eventually the monkey will get off the back". They are going into their 27th season with no playoff victories and Marvin will be entering his 15th season (evidently they are talking extension). I'm not so sure it will... I mean, you would hope that they might some day luck into a playoff victory, but even that seems remote at this point.
Above average quarterback - check
Elite WR - check
Elite TE (when healthy)- check
Elite DT- check
Elite de - check
Elite lb- check
Young fast secondary- check (coaching will go a long way here)
It's not as far off as you think. We will see what happens in the draft but the last time the bengals had a pick as high as the Cowboys did they too struck gold with AJ green and Andy dalton. If they get one impact playmaker and then William Jackson and billings... Along with signing a FA and keeping our own this team will win 10 games next year.
There are things that need to be addressed this offseason but this team likely doesn't draft top 10 again for another 5-6 years for whatever that is worth
