Like I want to be hopeful that the Bengals can turn it around, too, but there's 0 evidence that Duke Tobin is getting better at his job.
Gifted the #1 pick. Took the no brainer. So I’m not giving him any credit there. We basically drafted for need all the way through. An AJ clone with an aging and franchise tagged AJ, Ross possibly being another of his first round busts, and after starting an UDFA in game 1 at WR last year. 3 LBs where we had zero depth. A DE where we are very slim. And OL where another of his potential first round busts and one of the worst groups in the league last year needed help.
Ended up cutting all the veterans this offseason who could have possibly had trade value last year.
On paper we did kill it in free agency this year. But a little help from covid 45 made it a buyers market. And there were not many teams going nuts in free agency this year.
I am by no means back on the Tobin hype train.
