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


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

    • Yes, but Bryce Young is what amplifies that concern for me for a super green HC and OC.   it’s all and marriages by Tepper IMO.  Canales and the new OC probably would have a better time getting their O running with a vet QB that is a natural fit.   again, I’m not arguing Canales and Morgan should be catering to Bryce at this point.  Just pointing out how pointless drafting Bryce looks at this stage.  And I don’t disagree you either can play or can’t and the O is irrelevant at this level.   I mean fit matters at this level.  Everyone is too talented.  Fit makes or breaks careers. 
    • Excellent post, Jackie Lee.  I watched every second.
    • Yes you have said all of that as well. I was just saying having concerns about a one year OC transitioning to HC and trying to call plays like you have stated before as well implies he could be in over his head this first year. I’m not calling you out or anything. It’s a concern and I’m sure there will be some growing pains along the way. As for the Bryce thing, he is either a NFL QB or he isn’t. If he doesn’t look any better this year, then I think we simply move on and let Canales pick his guy. I think Beck has a big arm if that’s his type. Trying to build a very unique roster just to see if he can find success isn’t a good idea IMO. If he looks much better this year then sure you can cater a little more to his skillset.
