Will We Ever Go All-In On Our O-Line?

Im not sure what you think is "all in" The Bengals have drafted several offensive linemen the last few years in rounds 1-4. They have brought in free agents that were well regarded. They had one of the top paid offensive lines in the NFL. They have tried.

This means he knows jack about the offensive line or the entire defense. He is entirely at the mercy of however he hires a DC or OL coordinator. and isn't even helpful if they come to him with concerns because he doesn't speak their language.
The Bengals tried the money and free agent route after their Super Bowl loss and have worked their way around to the draft route. But no, the Bengals will never have an elite OL so long as their head coach knows nothing about the offensive line.

That is a rather interesting take considering the performance of the offensive line directly impacts QB play

If your theory was correct then we should have had a lousy OL under Marvin Lewis whose entire career until he became a head coach was on the defensive side of the ball
