Sorry, but I have a thing for the truth.
Most years you’d be a liar. The Bengals periodically will hit an off-season and sign a few guys that end up being decent starters, a la 2011. Don’t kid yourself though, it’s a 1-3 times a decade kind of thing, and it’s when the troubled former first rounders or C-list FA’s have bounce back years. Mostly because the owner is a cheapskate with respect to free agency and front office staffing. This team consistently hamstrings itself with a miserly front office and threadbare approach. There’s a reason the owner/GM wins at a 40% clip over his tenure and the team hasn’t won a Playoff game since MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice were topping the charts.
