I’m all in for Murray. He’s electric. Only thing he doesn’t have is size. His arm is ridiculous and can move and easily escape pocket and extend plays. He’s going to play in NFL over MLB, I think.

Just as importantly it signals Taylor is taking the job. For me, even if this move goes totally sideways we can at least say the Bengals stepped outside of themselves and did something different. It speaks to Katie’s growing influence, I think. The fansbase was going to reject the status quo. Win or lose this is anything but.

The entire staff needs turned over. Everyone needs to go for this franchise to really start fresh. This is just the first domino in what should be many. I’m not confident (at all) Mike has the stomach for so much change. This could be a HC change that sees Mike cede ownership to Katie. I hope she has a serious hand in this process.

If that report is to be believed it just further illustrates the level of frustration festering in that locker room. The other piece of that report mentioned the amount of leash that Dalton has and that it may not be as long as some may think. CK isn't a realistic option midseason but if Dalton goes up to Lambeau and lays yet another egg he may be forcing a move sooner than we thought.

The situation was untenable even by Mike Brown standards. Something had to give and easy fix is to can Zampese. What a total miss at the OC job. I remember years ago when he was QB coach that there was worry when he would interview for OC positions elsewhere. Ironic.

I'm with Jason. Love this pick. Adds something completely unique to this offense. I couldn't argue Allen or even Foster (who i wanted). He's going to be so much fun to watch. WHO DEY?!?

Thanks for digging that up - other than the scoreboard I just don't see it around the stadium. This is coming from a Cincy transplant living in NY for last 14 years, so there you go.

Bit of a stretch there but I take your point. Green Bay is a complete outlier with there ownership model. While I don't necessarily agree with all the amenities and features at stadiums this is the reality. Not everyone who goes to games wants to sit and watch the entire thing. They roam around, eat/drink and generally socialize.

Here's an idea - how about Mike Brown dumps a dollar into PBS in renovations/upgrades. Didn't the city have to pay for the new HD scoreboard? I was at a game a year or two ago (field level) in a bar area and they had CRT TVs strapped up hanging from walls. Pretty embarassing stuff. Yes, I know, you're there to watch the game but if teams are trying to lure fans out to spend money for a stadium experience transporting them back to 1999 ain't gonna do it. Look at GABP - team constantly dumps money into that stadium. Built around same time but one owner understands the stadium experience and the other not so much.
