Not a contender right now, but look at the way our season started vs how it finished. We got what it takes to possibly clinch a WC spot, BUT, we really do need to solidify the front 7 and o-line. It's far from bad. It's embarrassing.
This is the AFC North we're talking about here. The Browns aren't just a team to watch out for because they're a division rival, they're something to be worried about for any team facing them next year. Then you have the Ravens and the Steelers... There's not one person on this board that can tell me based off of our finishing record that we have a decent chance of finishing better than 1-5 in our division next year.
We can be competitive in 19-20. It's a matter of how Free Agency and the NFL Draft play out. I'm not one who is necessarily against Dalton being traded because I'm sure there's at least one QB in this class that is a future star, but if Taylor wants to be an immediate winner as HC of the Bengals, he's going to give Andy help, not deal him. Try to get him back to MVP caliber level like he was before his injury in 2015. You do that by giving him an OC with momentum to score every drive, a good o-line and a healthy/consistent TE. We have a decent WR group. Ross is still up in the air for me. I'm giving him one more year under a different system.
