It is just one of those unfortunate things where our past is coming back to haunt us. Until we win a fucking playoff game, nothing is going to change as far as media coverage/opinions. "Same old Bengals" Feels unfair how the Browns sort of became media darlings seemingly overnight though. Their recent ineptitude was just as bad as the Bengals were in the 90's-early 00's. We never had an 0-16 season. Only thing I can think of is the Mayfield OBJ star power?? I don't get it.

Lol I gotta admit, he is getting tougher and tougher to read. Sometimes he just takes forever to get his point across. Run on sentences galore and canned phrases that almost read like dad jokes. Plenty of fluff pieces ahead!

My random Bengals thought today... Is DAMN this month stretch (7/27??) where nothing is going on is brutal! I suppose no news is good news during this time span but it'll be nice when there is actual team stuff going on again. I would have liked to know what happened to Jonah at minicamp tho

I'd have to agree

I was thinking the same thing man. I know it is early on and I'm a total homer for watching all of the videos on Bengals.com, but I'm definitely noticing a positive attitude during all the interviews. Just seems like some good energy within the club right now.

I was surprised to hear that the stripes are actually painted onto the helmets, which is why we can't use the "BENGALS" throwbacks. I think it'd be cool to do for one or two games a year. The NFL just needs to get rid of the dumb one-helmet rule.

This has GOT to be his last chance. Barring a complete season with stellar production, you cant just keep throwing money away, I agree. Nothing against the guy, he's produced when on the field. Just cant stay out there.

This is an interesting topic, one I'm really interested in seeing shake out. Lets get one thing straight, he is the QB of the Bengals this upcoming season, so I will be rooting for him to play out of his damn mind and take us to the promised land. There will be a lot of factors in play for what they do with Dalton after. You have the new coach, i always hear about new coaches wanting "their guy". Zac has had nothing but praise for Dalton since he arrived, but the season's outcome paired with Dalton's individual contribution/leadership will play into that. If he is average but they win enough games to go to the playoffs (and god forbid WIN ONE), do you keep him and improve around him? If the team is average overall (think horrifically shitty defense), but Dalton performs well qb rating/stats wise, do you give him one more chance? The final year's salary is not outrageous. Many many things to think about...

Haha, one hell of a combo

Not to hijack this thread but damn...Marisa is pretty hot

Well, at least he dressed up for the phone call lol

Didnt Belichick have a damn hoodie on when he introduced their draft picks? Winning is what matters, who gives a shit about his wrinkled button up

Wow, gotta say I like this take action approach

Lol, another casualty of that really delayed submit button. Agreed though, high IQ and high character picks are definitely a trend
