Couldn't sign with the team or interview assistants until after the SB. No help from FO in free agency, no #1 WR no starting right guard, no starting left tackle for the first 12 games, no #3 WR for ten games. The team stayed together through all this adversity. If you refuse to ignore how he was handcuffed,I guess your expectations and mine differ but I would give him one or two more years to prove himself with his own team before totally saying he was a failure. Btw if you have any thoughts that some top HC is coming to Cincy you are wrong. Only inexperienced coaches would come here and you would have the same growing pains with him.

So, I guess winning two games against other trainwreck teams is an uptrend for you?

Yeah I'm not impressed.  Like... at all.

You overexaggerate everything by the way.  Boil him in oil?  Burn him alive?

No.  I just don't think he's very good, despite being "handcuffed".

Mainly because he did some real head-scratcher stuff with the players he had.

Everybody and their grandma thought he would not only be better than Marvin, but get more out of the players that Marvin coached.

The only crow I'll be eating is that I thought he would too.

So let's recap my reality here.  The only one that actual makes me feel silly for saying those things is me.

Why?  Because I'm an adult who doesn't let someone who has zero control over the future outcome of the team I watch affect me.

You're just guessing, and yes there's a chance he might succeed.

I just don't see much of anything moving the needle of positivity here from what we've already factually witnessed.

Will any change like Burrow at QB, who is well liked by Ohio bring more fans to games?  Probably.

Let's just hope whomever was making the decisions in the last draft is stifled this time, or they'll be circling the drain once again in the AFCN.
