Bucky Brooks: Bengals could be competitive quicker than many anticipate

We still have a lot of "IFs" going into next season. Particulary at OL, TE, LB, and even CB. I think Dalton had some weapons too (AJ + a better D + a better offensive line). Our division is tough. Ravens have the MVP. Pitt has an elite D and getsBen back. Browns added a stud TE, and upgraded both tackle spots.

The last two years especially Dalton had little or no AJ Green and probably the worst line we have had in a long long time and our defense was one of the worst over those two years.. Burrow is coming into a better situation so he is better positioned to have success
