Is my voice to tell you all:  Rams are not that. 

Thank you for the opportunity to do so.  

I think the problem is, you don't understand the meaning of the term 'mortgage your future'. 

The Bengals team was built through the draft and by signing mostly free agents that filled a need but weren't established, productive veterans. They haven't traded or given away any of their future (draft picks) building this way and their salary cap is very manageable for the next several years. 

The Rams team was built through free agency and trades by acquiring higher priced, well known players while giving away a bunch of 1st and 2nd round draft picks. They are built to "win now" and will have to figure a lot out in the next few years if they don't win this year.

They're both "teams" that have been put together for the same purpose--win a championship, but did it in completely different ways.

Don't get upset or defensive by what i'm writing because i'm not saying you're wrong and i'm right. What i'm saying is the Rams decided that "we are going all in for a SB right now and we will worry about next year, next year". The Bengals decided "we are going to build a team the traditional way and allow our young players to develop over the years and we will add pieces here and there".
