Especially for a franchise run by a guy trying to run it like it's still the 70s.The difference is you think that MB cares what you and the rest of us think. We know we could do a better job than him but alas we don't own the Bengals and MB does. If Dalton doesn't improve the attendance will drop and MB will have no choice but to replace Dalton. Marvin would still be here if the seats would have stayed full. There has to be a scapegoat and MB isn't going to accept that role.
You must be filthy rich what with winning the lottery all the time.
You don't seem to realize that coaching can play a huge role. That's not to say that the oline will be better this year, but it's possible if it's the same players that our current coaching staff can overcome their deficiencies unlike the last coaching staff. Yes, it's unknown if they will, but it's still possible.
He doesn't need all stars around him to win. That's been evident by his having a winning record. We have enough talent to win a playoff game or 2. It's going to come down to coaching and lack of injuries.
Spoken like someone who CLEARLY doesn't understand the game of football. The Bengals can be successful in numerous ways: Dalton playing even better, sure, but ZT being a better HC than Merv, the defense playing at an elite level, other players on offense lifting Dalton to higher levels, etc.
If you think the only way for the Bengals to be successful is for Dalton to be an elite QB, well, I'm going to start calling you Mike Brown because that's the exact same thought process he has and I would be embarrassed if MB and I looked at football the same way.
