I think we're on the same page here in that the management of the Bengals is ass, but acting as if they simply allowed blue chip players to walk isn't exactly being fair.
The front office tried to emulate franchises like Green Bay in that they retain their best players that they can, and draft and groom players to take over for those they can't. They've done the former, but haven't been able to replicate some of the good drafts they had in the past.
You need a bunch of above average to good players to win a Super Bowl...Jones, Sanu, Nelson, Whitworth, Zeitler, and Andre Smith were all above average to Good players with the Bengals.
And...they were replaced with lower quality players.
But yeah...IF the guys they drafted produced at a high level, the losses wouldn't be such a huge deal.
