How Long Will the Rebuilding Take?

[*ochocincos*]

While some people don't value PFF at all, I think it's worthwhile to at least look at their scores to see if there are any trends.

On the good teams, there's usually a few 70+ rated players.
The Bengals have no OL or DL at 70+.
The only Bengal with 65+ pass rush is Carl Lawson with a score of 66.
Reader and Hubbard have 70+ run defense but below 60 pass rush.

The only starters who have a 70+ rating on the team are Bates (which was just from week 1, was below that week 2) and Drew Sample.

If the rebuild actually ever finishes, we need to see a few players elevate into that upper tier, especially given Atkins, Dunlap, and Green are (getting) past their prime.
