I think Taylor talked a good game and had management thinking he could be the change. But, not signing many impact free agents and not having league average scouting hurts.

Honestly, back when we had good rosters like from 2014/2015...some of us questioned why the Bengals didn't sign a quality MLB or Center. Those teams might have made a long playoff run with an Alex Mack at Center. Instead, they rolled over cap space.

Well, they kind of fell in love with that phony term, "homegrown talent" which is meaningless unless the player comes from Cincinnati, born, breed and went to college in..... We've had a few and some pretty good, but not enough to keep harping on that line forever. They've been burnt so many times with FA's they seem really afraid to do anything other than scrap heapers and then way overpay them. Forget the notion of premier FA's. This team isn't gonna do that again in our lifetimes.

So... Back to Bruce Arians.

He looks like a guy sitting alone at the end of the bar who appears to be minding his own business, but laughs to himself when you and your friend say something funny to each other.
