Comparing Front Office Sizes in the AFC North

Yet Dalton is somewhere around the 12-16th best QB when he's having a good year.

It's all relative.

The shortest path to winning in the playoffs is a Top 5-10 QB. Dalton is not that at his best.

Right, Dalton is about to break Palmer's yardage record here while Palmer is about to pass up Kurt Warner in Arizona so la de dah.  Both of those guys had seasons that were legitimate elite-level and good enough to make a playoff run as Bengals, but bad luck injuries ruined that single year and our front office and overall disinterest in winning ensured the small window shut soon after.

We've seen talent come and go since Mike Brown took over and go figure our unappealing and intentionally understaffed organization can't quite seem to magically amass the absurd amount of talent it would take to succeed at the highest level.  Seriously, how much faith can we have in Mike Brown being able to assemble a team amazing enough to succeed despite having Mike Brown as an owner?
