This picture pretty much sums up Akili. He's taken responsibility for his failures, but the guy is without a doubt the #1 bust in team history.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

Isaac Curtis was an elite track athlete as well and a pretty darn good receiver.

Ki-Jana was decent when he played. We would've been better off as a team if Akili got injured.

He authored arguably the worst passing season in NFL history in 2000. With weapons Klingler only dreamed of.

Seriously, it's not close. Even before considering all the picks we passed up.

That's right Klingler would get bull rushed as soon as the ball was snapped.  Terrible line play.

He could have sent a better message.  Maybe something like "We think big things are in store for Ja'marr Chase.  As he grows and shows that he's ready to meet the challenge, we'll work him into offense.".  

Perhaps the Bengals should reconsider allowing the Novice Head Coach to have free reign of the microphone at pressers?  I mean, honestly, I expected soooo much more from a man lauded as some sort of "master communicator", the way the team presented him, upon announcement of his hire.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
