Bengals shopping John Ross

But, didn't Marvin play a part in keeping Ogbuehi out there for far to long ? Redmond ? Who kept D. Roland around for years eating up a roster spot ? Why was MJ still playing RDE for a boatload of snaps this season ? To site just a few examples.

Again, I'm not fighting for Marvin so much as doing my usual analysis of the human mindset, on this one.  Marvin is down on Ross while seeing 2 off-seasons and 2 years of practice and playing and ZT hasn't even met the guy (I assume) and his thumbs down is all we need to FINALLY wake up and realize Ross is a bust of a top 10 pick.

For all we know Marvin may have wanted to trade Ross for a 1st round pick the second we drafted him.  But that's hyperbole, really.  If you would have told Bengals fans that in 2019 John Ross had been traded away at a loss I assume they would have said "Oh no...Marvin didn't get fired!"

But the thing is, we really are "all in" on ZT if we are going to be ok with him dumping Ross before he even gives the guy the shot we were sure Marvin never gave him. All in...that's what we are.
