At least the Bengals have been to the Superbowl. The Raiders used to be a powerhouse.
The Lions have won 1 playoff game in over 50 years. Ford is the worst...not even debatable.
This is a misconception.Pretty simple here - Al Davis is a bit looney... Mike Brown just does not care.
Or I should say he cares about the wrong things.
Mike Brown does care - for the business side. He would like to field a winner, but won't sacrifice tehe business to do it. That is why you see all the rediculous moves.
Brown just cant wrap his mind around the fact its not 1956 anymore. No one gives a **** about honor and committment, its about the money!
If he would have traded Ocho much earlier Cinci would have much more talent on the field than now. If he would have just traded Palmer this year he would have actually got something for nothing - which is much better than nothing for nothing.
Okay, yes, in the football sense, trading Ocho for two first round picks was the smart thing to do.Which makes me question his business acumen he seems to concentrate on. Hey, at least he's teaching his daughter the football operations so you know the franchise will be in good hands for the next several decades.
