Training camp season is right around the corner and with the start of camp also comes unbridled optimism. Count just how many times you hear that a veteran “is in the best shape of his career” or that a rookie “looks like a seasoned veteran”. The Bengals are no different. I would recommend taking anything heard from training camps with a grain of salt, but a spoonful seems more adequate.
Regardless, in the spirit of this uninhibited hopefulness, I will delve into the reasons that Bengals fans have to be optimistic about the upcoming season. Just have the Morton’s close by.
