Rams "re-built" for 3 years before they finally admitted that Goff wasn't the QB to win a super Bowl.

We already have the biggest piece to build (or re-build) around.  That is a huge advantage.  Now that the front office is willing to use free agency we should be competitive for championship as long as we have Joe at QB.  There will be seasons ruined by injuries.  And the draft is a huge crap shoot, so there will be some slumps due to bad drafts.  But overall we should be thinking championship every year.

Isn't great to finally have hope our team at a minimum is a playoff contender and some years in top 4 to win it all? I agree Fred, huge advantage having our franchise QB and a franchise WR on rookie contracts so we can lock up a lot of the nucleus for 2 to 3 years. In time, it will change, but lots of ways to manage the cap and the Bengals FO is probably already projecting out our cap and contracts for years 2023 to 2025 and they have proven they can manage the cap better than most teams.
