How Long Will the Rebuilding Take?

[Joelist]

The question to me is not so much how long a rebuild takes but whether anyone has enough patience left to endure it. We've been trapped in this for literally decades (sorry but making the postseason and then losing promptly does not count). The last time a Bengals team was really worthwhile was 1988. Since then the fans (the few that are left) have gotten nothing for their fiscal and emotional investment.

What the front office (spit) needs to understand is they don't have the time for a slow process of improvement. We need winning RIGHT NOW. We need immediate success. Otherwise don't be surprised when what little fanbase the team still has just checks out.
