Let this simmer in your noggin for a minute and then tell me how sad it truly is... ( i was actually able to figure this out when Mike Brown couldn't)

Paul Brown didn't come into the NFL to play by the well established status quo. He was an innovator. He came up with ways to give his players and teams an advantage. He strove to be the best. Easily one of the top 3 most important figures in NFL history. 

Now...in the 26 full seasons his son has been the big kahuna...he has not done one thing, not one single thing that could be considered innovative or forward-thinking. Not a single thing that other teams copy to try and better themselves. He's come to work every day, punched the clock, did his 9, punched the clock again and went home. 

Look around this forum about all the talk about practice facilities, FA philosophy, coaches coaching way too long...and then look at how teams that win championships do it. 

26 full seasons and he's done absolutely nothing to so much as even give him a single playoff win. All this following the example his father set right before his eyes.

But by all means; continue to "enjoy the regular season" with nothing beyond that. It's your right. 

And it's just as lacking as the guy who has made you do it for the last 26 years. 

In all seriousness, any poster on here who legitimately thinks they can run the Bengals better than the current FO is delusional, egomaniacal, or both.  Truth be told, probably half of the people that come on here complaining about contracts and cap management can't even balance their own checkbook.  It's good to have an opinion, and it's fine to discuss roster moves, but some people act like they're the mastermind responsible for the Patriots dynasty and continually drag up stuff from months/ years/ decades ago  and how we are doomed to failure because we didn't draft this player they wanted, cut this player they don't want, sign this FA, and resign this other guy...but if we had done all that we'd be SB bound.  It's like a bunch of battered housewives sitting around complaining about all the years abuse and fxck ups and how their lives are ruined, but they don't have the guts to leave.  You feel bad the first couple of times you hear it, but after hearing the same shxt over and over again, you just don't care anymore and wish they'd just shxt or get off the pot.

I've been a fan through the whole lost decade.  Certainly, if I had my way, some things would be done differently.  However, different people have different ways of doing things, and a different way isn't necessarily wrong.  Certainly, back in the '90's, they were doing a lot more wrong than they did right, but it recent years, we've generally had a good team to watch.  When I tune in on gameday, I want to watch my favorite team play an entertaining game and win, not go out there and try to make up for something that happened 26 years ago.
