2015: Legacy defining season for Bengals?

Marvin could win the big one - "fans" will still consider him a big game bust, giggles, etc.

Andy could win the big one - "fans" will still present the same negatives they always do.

Mike could win the big one - idiots will still decry the stadium deal, cheapness, etc.

Thus, IMO, the legacy question is irrelevant.  Having said that, 2015 could be a future defining season for many on this team including Marvin Lewis.  That becomes the ultimate question.

On Marvin I disagree, but he'll never be held in as high a regard as any of the greats or near greats.

On Dalton it would come down to winning the big one because Dalton played well in the post season or if we won in spite of bad Andy showing up. Let's face it, up to now his post season performances have been very poor showings, as has the rest of the team. Which takes us back to Marvin.

On Mike Brown, for me it has nothing to do with the stadium or perceived cheapness, but has to do with the nose dive he flew the team into. He freakin' owes the fans a great deal. One great season in 24 tries just doesn't quite make up for through 2004.
