Sad to see all of these teams making big moves

It seems there has been a huge point that went over the heads of you guys.

There are a lot of REALLY BAD teams blowing tons of money to sign big name free agents.  At the same time there are lots of VERY GOOD teams who are not (and usually don't) blow tons of money to sign big name free agents.  Therefore you can't just make a blanket statement that the bengals suck because they are not out blowing tons of money on signing the top name free agents.

It amazes me how many people claim to follow the NFL yet seem not to realize that signing big name free agents really has no bearing on how good a team or front office is.

But why look at facts.  Sometimes that actually makes it harder to claim every move the "bungles" make is a huge mistake because they have been the worst team in the league for a long time.

But the Bengals are a really bad team. So they are closer to the teams that need to take some risks to at least try to improve, then the teams that can sit back lean on their foundation.

How did all these new coaches end up loyal to the same players? Another thing we may have mistakenly blamed on Marvin. They are spending time talking to Eifert, Dennard (who I want back), and probably MJ (our late free agent savvy steal according to Hobspin). And that's just not going to get the job done.
