Actually, that must be how they did it with that Drugstore List. To draft Akili Smith that high, bring him into camp and then say they didn't know he had so many flaws in his QB mechanics, that shows no scouting and as you say, just throwing darts. Any scouting should have shown his mechanics, how he sets up, how he throws. It should not have came as a surprise after the draft.
So I am hoping, and that's all a fan can do in regards to Mike Brown. I am hoping Mike Brown and even Mr Tobin back off and let these coaches scout and put together the best players possible for them to coach.
It gets very busy now. Combine, who to keep in Free Agency, who to let go. Who to add in Free Agency. Drafting College players. March and April are crucial. If you get March and April wrong, you don't have a chance September to January. There is much for these new coaches to do now, they are in it now, the Combine is already here. You might say the season starts right now.
I have no idea what Tobin and Bengals did at Senior Bowl before these coaches hired, but I'm all for throwing that out the window. Mike Brown needs to put away his darts he throws at a list of player names. Start brand new with these new coaches hitting The Combine. Out with the old, in with the new. Marvin is gone and you can't keep the same playbooks because that never works. It is key that these coaches look for their own kind of players at the Combine. I hope that is the plan by front office, to actually let these coaches bring in players and actually be coaches.
Mike Brown would be well served to listen to the Sinatra song of My Way. His dad Paul Brown had success in Cleveland because he did it his way. People laughed and said Paul Brown was more like basketball than football in 1950, but he did it his way, and it Won. The only chance of winning is to let Taylor and company do it their way. Don't shackle them in outdated playbooks and Bengals football of old. Mike Brown, put away the darts.
