The Bengals have mostly sucked since the 90's, but we do not ruin Quarterbacks. We've produced several franchise Quarterbacks in Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton.
Look at us since 2000
2000: Akili Smith (11) / Scott Mitchell (5) --> Okay our one bust but he was far from a sure thing.
2001: Jon Kitna (15) / Akili Smith (1)
2002: Jon Kitna (12) / Gus Frerotte (3) / Akili Smith (1)
2003: Jon Kitna (16) --> Hell we got 46 starts out of Jon Kitna of all people, though that led to
2004 - 2010: Carson Palmer (97) / Ryan Fitzpatrick (12) / Jon Kitna (3) --> Up and down 7 years but we got some great seasons out of Palmer despite his big knee injury which ruined probably his best year.
2011 - 2019: Andy Dalton (133) / Jeff Driskel (5) / Ryan Finley (3) --> I think Andy in a way over achieved especially when you see how many second round on QB's bust out of the league on a yearly basis. He's probably one of the better 2nd round drafted QB's ever.
I mean look at the Browns since 2000
Actually the hell with that, list is too long.
Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, Colt McCoy, Brandon Wheedon, Johnny Manziel, Deshone Kizer*, Baker Mayfield (I swear he's on his way to becoming a bust just because of his attitude). And that's just a list of their draft flameouts.
Their best QB imo was Derek Anderson in 2007 and he's a career backup.
*Heck Kizer was so insignificant that I forgot about him
