Anyone who was a fan during those years realizes that couldn't be further from the truth. The fact is the Bengals team had plenty of talent, the problem was the coaching and management.

Marvin did not walk in to a crappy roster, it had a couple holes but the foundation was laid. Add in drafting the Heisman Trophy winner right from the jump and he was 85 or 90% there.
I give Marvin a lot of credit for helping to change the culture here and get us over the sucking bad hump. But let's not act like his roster was a complete disaster - it wasn't !!!!!
