The Bengals had some of the most talented rosters in the NFL from 2012 through 2016. They also had a ton of talent in that 2005 to 2009/10 era as well.
2016, NFL.com ranked them 7th http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000664439/article/seahawks-steelers-panthers-headline-10-most-talented-teams
2014: 9th http://thecomeback.com/thisgivensunday/2014-articles/ranking-the-2014-nfl-rosters.html
The 2015 roster was outstanding. 2013 was excellent as well. And the 2012 roster was very very good.
What? You think Marvin and Dalton were turning water into wine or something? Please. Marvin wasn't up to the talent if his players and Dalton was (generally) carried by them. Without ultra elite talent around him, Dalton has been unable to consistantly win over the last 2 seasons.
