I don’t think i said Cinci is dumb. I don’t think they’re the terrible organization people make them out to be. They’ve been a pretty consistent playoff team over the last decade or so. I think they suck and i would not want to play there. All i said is why do people think Cinci is dumb yet Carolina is so smart? Carolina hasn’t been some winner lately. Their roster is horrible and now they’re all back in on Cam Newton.

Marvin Lewis had a lot to do with that. The Bengals were a respectable franchise when Paul Brown was the owner with two Super Bowl appearances in the 80s. Mike Brown has been widely known as the most incompetent owner in the league since he took over ownership. I believe they're the only team in the league without an indoor practice facility and their weight room is at the stadium. They have the smallest scouting department among the 32 teams and rarely make in season acquisitions through free agency or trades to address lack of depth due to guys that have been injured, something every team does.
