Why the Bengals will always Stink

If you ever wonder why the Bengals will always be a pack of losers check out the quotes from their loser coach.

“You can put all that to rest. We have the (4-3) personnel,” Lewis said. “We’ll continue the way we are and not take any side steps. We need to get better and keep progressing with our players and that’s the best way for us to do it the quickest.”

“People continue to point out the teams that (spend) in free agency win less games,” he said. “It takes chemistry. It’s people working together. It takes time. When we get a guy off another team, invariably there comes that adverse time within the game that he reverts back to other things that he knows from another place and another time. That’s not the reaction you need at that critical moment.

“The answer is to always try and reserve some of your own players and continue to progress with guys in the draft,” Lewis said. “Continue to let them mature and develop as football players in the NFL. They’re trained in your system, they’re trained your way and that’s the way teams continue to get better.”

Apparently Marvin Lewis has the intelligence to be a City Council member when he retires.

This is the NFL... your team was 8-8 last year.... simply drafting good players keeps you even with everyone else... they get seven picks as well. You cannot make it on the players you draft alone. Do the math. If the average NFL player career is five years and every single one of your draft picks makes the team, you have 35 guys - but your roster is 53 guys.... you still need free agents to fill the roster.

The Bengals are 16 mil under the cap for 2007. They were under the cap last year when they could have signed Justin Smith to a long term deal. The Bengals will always be losers because the days of signing draft picks alone are done. By the time you get a team together through the draft, the guys you started with are leaving through free agency (ie Eric Steinbach).

Look at the Patriots, every single year they rotate 15-20 guys off the roster and replace them with more cap friendly free agents and draft picks. They also have about ten extra scouts that know exactly the type of player they are drafting. Remember Drew Bledsoe, Curtis Martin, Adam Vinatieri, Ty Law, Troy Brown. et

This is why they don't have these types of pictures floating around the net.
