It's all about manning up. I will be the first in line to man up about my 9-7 season prediction with the Bengals missing the playoffs, based on the assumption they will continue to let Pittsburgh goad them most every time they play them, IF things end up going the opposite way. I would love to belly up to the crow buffet, but when you've been a fan from the Bengals birth, you hope for the best and expect the disappointments until they prove otherwise!
My mood is actual "Cautiously Optimistic".
Getting a team to a SB and losing only means you are one of the 31 losers for that season.
Just like Lewis said when he was asked, early on this year, "Are you disappointed at how things ended last year?" Lewis, "There are always 31 teams that are disappointed EVERY year!"
Who gives a crap about manning up? I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here. Basically, all you're saying is that if Kaepernick and Dalton never reach a Super Bowl, then they both suck. In your scenario, Trent Dilfer is better than Dan Marino. Dilfer has a ring, Marino does not.
You're also trying to get people to fess up to being wrong...on the internet? Good luck with that one, man. Let me know how it works out for you.
