The Bengals had 2 GREAT drafts with Dalton/Green/Boling and Atkins/Dunlap and fans assumed that Katie took over. That Marvin took over. That Tobin took over.
Now that we've had average to below average drafts every year since...fans don't know what to think.
Perhaps our great drafts were luck? I mean Green was an obvious pick. Dalton? We need a QB when Palmer left so it was Dalton, Kaepernick, or Mallet. Atkins was a great find. Dunlap was projected to go that high and played at a big school.
Funny how a couple lucky drafts changed the narratives so much.
In the end, drafting Geno, Dunlap, Green and Dalton was like some guy hitting the powerball, squandering all the money in 5 years, and people calling him a financial genius. The Bengals got lucky and then had no idea what to do with their riches.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
