The blaming of Mike Brown or the Bengals FO for not trying is absurd to me.
Are they perfect? Nope. Plenty of hindsight to look back at to realize that. But the people filling their pants over a new QB and a rebuild are probably the same people who were pulling their hair out in Spring, 2011. Where was all of the "Mike Brown/Tobin sucks" after that season all the way through 2015? Where was it 2004-2009? The Bengals have had outstanding rosters since around 2005 until the last few (2, really) bad seasons.
The immediate hatred towards the front office of the Bengals who just a few short years ago were starting to be mentioned as a top organization in the NFL is BS. The Bengals have a QB problem and missed on 3 high OL draft picks and have had bad years following. It will take time to fix it but, as others have pointed out, in today's NFL it doesn't take long to do so.
This 1-whatever season couldn't have come at a better time as the QB prospects coming out this year are outstanding. What an opportunity to strengthen a weakness at the most important position in sports! Anyone not excited for the 2020 Bengals and beyond is crazy to me. Teams have bad years and bounce back. This is the perfect first step to do so.
Sorry, not trying to be all uppity about it, but my goodness. The bad season is what it is - OVER WITH, and the fact that a new QB is coming to (hopefully) be here another 10+ years is exciting. Andy Dalton wasn't taking the Bengals out of the first round and he wasn't making a down roster into winners. He's not good enough. Time to give another prospect a shot at it. Ohio born kid who is lighting it up on the biggest stages and in the toughest conference and you guys are mad? Find a new perspective. Holy $%*#.
