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.

Exactly PISTONS.  The whole scouting fiasco in Cincy, and no competent GM is definitely the biggest detriment to the Bengals, IMO.  Better scouting, and more of it, frees up the coaching staff to do more important actual coaching jobs....which may lead to making even Marv and his staff look like geniuses.
