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.

    • I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  
    • We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.     
    • Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
