Animalman said:"But unlike the Cards, the Bengals have kept around some of their star players(like Corey Dillon), and the Bengals actually had a good draft this past year(while the Cards continued to baffle fans, players, and draft gurus everywhere)."
Drafts cannot be evaluated in any meaningful way until the players actually play in a real game.
Yes, the Cards have lost some players, and the Bengals have kept some of theirs...but what good did it do? Nada.
I have a buddy who's a Bengals fan--I am a Browns' fan--and he kept going on about how the Bengals would be in the playoffs before the Browns (nope) and how the Bengals would get a Monday Night Football game before the Browns (nope, Browns host Rams this coming season, on my birthday no less). He was nice enough to invite me down last year to watch the Browns beat the Bengals in the Nati.
I still say Bengals worse than Cardinals, but it is close.
