Which organization is in better overall shape...Reds or Bengals?

So...which organization is on the right track, all things considered: player development, fan base, winning, marketing, prospects for upcoming seasons...Reds or Bengals?

Bengals w/o a doubt, IMO. Reds are floundering and w/o much chance for quick upward mobility.

The Bengals problems are much more "fixable" than the Reds ubiquitous list of needs to be addressed, and their realistic timeline for implementing those necessary changes isn't nearly as long as the Reds. Much of this is because of the inherent differences between the NFL and MLB.

Exactly. While the division around the Reds is weaker than the division the Bengals are in, the Reds are in no position to make any kind of move this year and are probably several years away from making a difference.

The Bengals are the Indians.

The Reds are the Browns.

Bengals. Far from perfect, the Bengals have better players and better coaching.
