I think the biggest threat to this happening is the long-term existence of the NFL rather than anything the Bengals do or don't do. If it hangs on long enough (and life lasts long enough), then it's inevitable.
I feel reasonable security at 35 years old. Someone who is still 18 ought to feel a little better. I do think the state of society/the planet (and to a lesser extent the state of American football) create a little uncertainty that might not have played into this question 20 years ago.
Call me a 7 in confidence level. I think we have a core of talent that can do it, but that doesn't mean they will do it. A lot has to go right, and there is no actual guarantee that it will ever all go right. We can only hope.
