Dalton? MVP
Mixon? NFL rushing champ, 2,500 yds rushing and 3,000 from scrimmage.
AJ? 1,600 yds in half a year.
First team to have 22 players All Pro!
Coach of the year, rookie of the year.
We got the rings. We got the money. We got all of it!
Well that's a bit much...but honestly, this notion that we are going to automatically improve and teams like the Browns and Raiders and Jets can't improve because they suck is optimism that reminds me of well, over confident Browns fans we are all sick of hearing.
I get it, optimism. Teams that are better than us are due to take a step back and teams that are worse than us are going to still be bad. The Bengals, an organization that has an instantly-IRed 1st round pick and does nothing in free agency is going to be the one team that turns it around. I'm not saying we should all complain and assume a 6 win season, but at what point does our optimism look like we are just boasting over nothing?
