Why tank? To get the first pick in the draft and reboot the QB position. To accumulate draft picks and swap out old veteran guys that are on the back end of their career for younger, cheaper talent.
If im the Bengals, I commit to rebuilding and tanking over the next couple of seasons. I would draft Klyer Murray this year, evaluate him and see if he can be the QB of the future. If not, continue looking for your guy or hold out for the ultimate prize of Trevor Lawrence. Trade guys like AJ, Geno, and Dunlap for picks.
The window is closed. Time to reboot and start over.
I’ll agree with one thing, the window has closed. I think that’s the thing that the homer fans don’t understand. We are mad because this management pissed away the prime years of Green, Atkins and Dunlap. Those were 3 extremely good building blocks. The Bengals only try to fill holes through the draft, they have an equal chance there with the other teams. In Free Agency, they let every team take what they want and then sort through the scrap, how is that an equal chance of adding talent? The Bengals have some studs that are aging now and Mike Brown blew it, like he ALWAYS does. Yippie.. Enjoy turd management forever or root for another team. It’s a great option that we have every Fn year.
