Makes sense .Sounds like you have no emotional stock in this team either. Just happy go lucky and happy to be a fan of the old red rocket and his great charity work.
He's not an old man at all, actually, but what if he was? What bearing does that have on anything? Look, some of us have been around the sport all of our lives. Some of my first memories are of attending high school football games of my brother's around age 4. I started playing at 7. I'm 41 (most likely old man by your standards), but I've been around the game 37 years, been involved in some fashion for 34 years, and been a Bengals fan since around 1981/82. I vaguely recall one Super Bowl, and have vivid memories of the other. Some of us remember what it is like to have innovative and/or motivating coaches here, and what it was like when the team was ran professionally. We've been around Mike Brown's entire tenure. I can tell you this.....after watching 26 years of Mike Clown's bullshit, I have ZERO doubt we'll never win a Super Bowl doing things his way. I guarantee you that won't happen.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm personally only holding on until the team is sold, or Katie takes over upon Mike's retirement/passing. If nothing changes then, I'm out. I can remember when this team was on the cutting edge, bringing the no huddle to the league, the 3-4 zone blitz, now........turds. Turds everywhere. Lifer position coaches, a head coach with no vision, innovation, motivation, preparation, or plan when things go south that's been here 15 years. Lazy internal promotions. Nepotism in the FO. We don't dare foray into FA to fill gaps left by the draft, and so, the team is good enough to compete, but always has a fatal flaw that competent coaching, and good teams exploit in primetime and postseason matchups and flog the piss out of us. If you think it's one player that's gonna put this team into the Super Bowl, I have some beautiful oceanfront in Des Moines I like to sell you, sight unseen, of course.
