But, aside from that is the fact that Andy Dalton had this team close when it was loaded with talent. That talent is not here any more and this team has missed on several high draft picks in that time. 

Without a drastic change in the Bengals approach to Free Agency, which even Carson Palmer couldn't convince the team to do, there isn't enough talent on this team that any QB is going to come in and take it to an above average team.

Multiple years of not missing on any picks, and this team has a chance to compete again. 

Let’s be honest it was really 2 big misses that set us back. Og and Fisher. Although the Ross pick certainly didn’t help. I thought Taylor’s first draft here was terrible, but I don’t think it’s impossible for an elite QB to succeed here.

The defense has been looking better, the OL has been looking better, if Burrow is the real deal, Taylor can figure out his play calling, and we have a couple better drafts in a row, and use the money we’ll save on Dalton (and maybe AJ) on some decent FA’s, well...we might have a chance to be competitive sooner rather than later.

And yes that’s a lot of if’s.
