Across the AFC's Fandoms

An overwhelmingly common topic, especially among those midtier/almost playoff teams is how do we compete with Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, and Herbert.  They don't see the Ravens and Jackson as a threat.  What do their teams have to do because if they don't get massively better they will be also runs for some time to come.  This was a big topic among our AFCN rivals.  One of the Browns' board had 4 or 5 separate topics talking about Burrow and the Bengals.  Ravens, of course, think they have the least to do.

The bad teams want to be us.  They want to draft a hotshot QB and be able to rebuild through the draft and free agency just like the Bengals did.  This is sprinkled in among discussions on their future head coaches and GMs

edit:  and by far and away the Chiefs board is the rudest, most crass, ugly, arrogant, and with the least intelligent football discussions among the fandoms.

AFC has a lot of good young QBs (under 30 years old).
Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, even Jackson (when you add his running ability).

There could definitely be a changing of the guard for Super Bowls, especially after Brady and Rodgers retire.
