FWIW if Zac leads us to something like 3-13 this year, maybe Marvin really was a prodigy coach lol
Except Marvin's teams were still chicken shit when it came time for Duke's chicken shit drafts to play. They caught up to the team. Poor drafting doesn't hurt you immediately, but poor drafting from a year or a couple years prior is when it hurts you.
The Bengals had to start replacing players drafted from 2009-2012 like Andre Smith, Jermaine Gresham, Michael Johnson, Clint Boling, Kevin Zeitler, Mohamed Sanu, Marvin Jones, George Iloka.... and they couldn't do it because of Duke's bad drafting. That's why Marvin finished his NFL career with 6, 7, and 6 win seasons. That and because Zimmer left.
