Longest playoff win drought in the NFL. Moves like drafting Carter are contributing factors to this.
And in the previous 18 seasons, 5 RB's had been selected 1st overall. The NFL has changed. Taking a RB didn't cause the Bengals to fail. Taking a RB who shredded his ACL on bad turf contributed to the failures of the 90's, but that was bad luck.
Mike Brown has made plenty of dumb decisions. Taking Ki-Jana wasn't one of them. Someone with the name "Blake2Pickens" should know how desperately we needed a RB back then.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
