We were very fortunate to land Dalton after Palmer......remember the list of QBs prior we had? Only Jeff Blake was really a serviceable QB....maybe Jon Kitna.
My point is we have no idea how the future shakes out, many assume our window is closing and we will get worse versus even considering the possibility we may be better as we turn the roster. I thought life after Palmer would be Jeff Blake like again, it was not. Is it good enough? Nope, we still are not reaching our post season goals, but AD has been much more consistent winning than Palmer was with Chad so there is that. There are many ways to get better, to assume because some of our good players age we immediately go down is pessimistic in my view.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
