Add in a new franchise QB, a new franchise LT, a couple of well selected draft picks, sprinkle in a few key free agent acquisitions, and all of a sudden, 2020 looks like a much brighter future for the Bengals.

Yes they have

The double barreled smashup up in 2015 of Texans, Cardinals started the decline then the coup de gras in the finale. They've been spinning around in the toilet bowl slowly going down ever since.

The XSteeler OT showed some promise, and as has been said Pratt and Phillips showed promise. ZT and the funky bunch seemed to finally be getting a clue at the end. Running game improved, Tate showed promise. There were some bright spots.

I'm still a little doubtful about Taylor but I'm willing to give him a 2nd chance.
