The "small market" thing is just a buzz phrase that gets thrown around that in reality has very, very little to do with the truth about why this team can't/doesn't field competitive teams.
The real reason as you say is Mike Brown and his antiquated ways. MB does basically nothing to build the brand ! Won't step into the modern era and build a real indoor practice facility, no ring of honor even though the stadium stays PBS, curious huh ? The Reds are 1,000 more fan friendly. If he'd do 25% of what they do the Bengals fans would fall over.
You could go on with pages and pages of his stupidity but suffice is to say he's awful, horrible, at building a winning culture.
I don't know if I've ever seen a less motivational person than Mike Brown.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
