Think about this: how many teams have players that are among the best in the NFL at their positions?
The Bengals have several:
Atkins
Burtict
AJ Green
Dunlap
Eifert
They also have a ton of guys that are very good players:
Boling
Iloka
Pac-Man
Dre
Couple those with some very good young talent:
Boyd
Mixon
Ross
Willis
Lawson
You can't tell me that if this team was coached by a great coach that they wouldn't have been in a super bowl by now. It's an easy fix for the right guy. Fix the O-line and this team is an immediate contender again.
You can't tell
I can. We have 1 offensive lineman that would start on a playoff team.
MJ isn't a starter. Pacman is getting older and not a good starter any more. Billings/Sims are not starter quality. Iloka and Williams struggle against the pass. The secondary misses Nelson A LOT. Vigil/Minter are borderline starters.
Willis and Lawson have talent and potential...but they did nothing in Game 1. Ross didn't play. It may be a season or two before they make an impact IF ever. Most of the teams in the NFL have young guys like these.
