This team is not just one or two good players, years or drafts away from contending. This thing needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.
With a more experienced coaching staff I could see a full rebuild. But given the coaching staff lack of experience a full rebuild would more than likely hurt the team more so than holding onto aging players like AJ or Geno. There leadership can help the coaching staff, taking them out of the picture you lose that leadership and it can hurt the team long term.
I'll wait and see how the Bengals move forward in 2020. Will they fill voids in FA and draft BPA or will they continue to be the FO of old and not bring in any FA and continue to draft badly. Time will tell.
