Marge won a World Series, and MLB has none of those luxuries afforded the Bengals. They made some wrong calls with their pitching staff, and now they don't have the coin to fix that quickly. They have to develop their own. They are reaping what they sowed for those mistakes, and they just don't have the capital to sign big money fixes like the Yanks and Sox, etc do.
Yep.
NFL Teams are afforded the same financial resources with revenue sharing. A salary cap that baseball doesn't have. Bad teams get the better draft picks and easier schedule.
Yet the Bengals have a small scouting department while some other teams have 3 times the scouts. The Bengals also have no GM that isn't the owner.
I mean think about it - Scouting is probably the most important thing to improve a team. If you aren't going to sign guys to mega-contracts, you better be great at finding underpriced guys that fit your system that could break out.
