Why the Bengals will always suck

It's been 4 plus seasons of the Marvin regime in Cincinnati. Despite what you think of him as a coach, there are several reasons the Bengals will always be a second tier NFL football team. One of those reasons is the front office.

Just compare the front office personnel of the Indianapolis Colts v. The Beagles (HT Lance McAlister).

Can you imagine any business that runs a 100 million of payroll with this kind of staff. You could get better players using Monster.com than this assortment of ass kissers and nepotism.

I can appreciate wanting to improve your organization from talent drafted and developed from within. But if you are going to do that, you need to spend the bucks to pay scouts. Watching the SEC and Big Ten game of the week is not an effective personnel strategy.

So everyone that buys those tickets for that crap they call a team, call yourself an enabler and be used to 8-8 because that's what you are supporting. The city of Cincinnati paid for and deserves better.
