See, I feel ya, but I doubt Rams fans would trade Sean McVay, their recent success and SB run for what the Bengals did over those 10 years.
That's why you have to put a certain amount of extra weight on certain accomplishments.
You personally might feel more winning in regular season trumps that, but I think if people were polled, the majority would take the Rams' scenario.
It's basically years of mediocrity vs years of awfulness followed by a light at the end the tunnel. A light that we haven't seen since the 80's.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
