Their roles well in order to be a playoff contender year in
Year out. GM, HEAD COACH, AND FRANCHISE QB.
Look at any franchise that is always in the playoff conversation.
Ravens Steelers Chiefs Seahawks etc.
The Bengals have one of three in place.
Any chance this franchise has of having success it has to replace
Duke Tobin. Ive seen better GMs with better resumes
Get replaced. If the Brown Family wants to show its doing
Things different it can start by firing Tobin.
Hes the GM.
I'd love to see his apologists try to defend his overall body
Of work.
Does anyone in the Cincinnati Media feel the same way?
You never hear about him.on the hot seat.
The Brown family isn't doing much of anything different and I say that simply because they continue to run the day-to-day operations of the team. This team will not change until anyone affected by Mike Brown thinking is no longer managing the team.
Tobin is here despite the poor draft history. Just look at the number of wasted 1st and 2nd round picks over the past 20 years.
Sure they've hit pay dirt on some players like AJ, Atkins, Dunlap, Whitworth and Boling, but all of those players have now aged their replacements just haven't made the cut. Ross is useless. Look at the huge number of DTs selected in rounds 2-4 over the past 10 years, none of them came close to be quality starting caliber and many just never even made backup caliber. Same for the OL. Maybe Jonah will be the next good OLman, but look at the large number picks taken for OL spots in the last 6 drafts. Wow! Bust central.
The one constant is Mike Brown and his thinking process. His daughter is infected with it, as is Troy Blackburn and Tobin. Until that is gone, the team will continue to play no significant role in how the NFL playoff picture is shaped year in and year out.
Marvin was the difference in what made this team win, for awhile. Taylor is a shadow of Marv and deserves the heave-ho, just as Tobin and Mike Brown do.
