Again, in this thread I've seen a few people responding with "very closes" or "almosts." That's the main point. I absolutely believe the Bengals should've been playing, at minimum, in an AFC divisional game in the last 3 years (the first year was kind of a fluke, to make the playoffs). Last year, injuries, an insane amount. The year before, that was the best team in the last 4 years, got a home playoff game and...nope.
There's a big different between getting to the conference championship game and WINNING the Super Bowl. There's a big difference in playing in the Super Bowl and WINNING the Super Bowl.
Kerry Collins, Rex Grossman, Jake Delhomme and Colin Kaepernick are the only QB's who have even played in a Super Bowl in the last 20 years who weren't pretty comfortably top 10 QB's in the NFL at the time.
