Wait, it doesn't take 7 years to make a winning team?!?!?!??!?!?!?

TBF, last time we had selections similar to what lined up for Cincy recently, we got Cam and Luke.

Now, could Pickett/Corral be Burrow? I think Fields will.

It doesn't take a decade for a rebuild, we've seen it here before. In less time than it takes to get through high school, we went from the worst team in the league to staring down Tom Brady in the Super Bowl.

Fast forward a few years and we went from the number 1 pick to a season with only 2 losses and it should have been 1 loss. 

Matt Rhule inherited a team far better than John Fox did, far better than Ron Rivera did, and they made immediate strides. Rhule is just a bad coach and a worse evaluator of talent. That is all this is.

Rhule is falling in love with Jimmy watching this pregame segment.

we’re fuged.

That's kind of cherry picking.  Do you really want to use the Bengals as how not to have 7 years of losing seasons?

[rayzor]

No. It doesn't even take two. 

That whole pile of poo is the dumbest philosophy to hold onto. 

We're run by incompetence.

They hit on a very good QB....that changes fortunes. 

You can’t hit if you never try draft one. Trading for busts and signing journeyman QBs isn’t the way to do it.

What truly stud qb have we passed on in this time period that we had a chance at though?  QBs that can change the game on their own (without an oline) are few and far between unfortunately. 

Trading for one that’s terrible under pressure is the Rhule Way.

You know the answer to your question

 bottom line, Rhule was afraid   As I recall Hurney was in love with Justin Herbert.

The Bengals hadn't won a postseason game in 30+ years .. it took them 30+ years to make a winning team

Yes, absolutely we do. 

Zac Taylor has been there for three seasons.

First season, they were terrible.

Second season, they made progress.

Year three, AFC Championship game.

It doesn't take 7 years to rebuild. It is actually comical for any coach to think that it does. 7 years is a huge period of time when the average NFL career comes in somewhere around 2.5 years. A 7 year rebuild is essentially saying that you need nearly 3 full passes on your roster to get it right.

Nothing that happened 30 years ago plays any role in this. This regime turned it around in 3 years. I'm not going to mock Zac Taylor because the Bengals sucked when he was in grade school. He turned them around in 3 years.
