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.

All those ifs are known as the dead cat bounce. 

It is what this team does every losing season and what gives people hope that this draft pick or this guy returning from injury will be the magic fix.

The magic fix is Mike Brown giving up complete control and hiring real NFL front office people or... at least accepting his way doesn't work and allowing the coaches to say which players are needed from Free Agency.

Until one of those two things happens or we just have a streak of 3 or 4 straight great drafts where we find All-Pros in round 4 even, this team is going to be bad.
