1.) The Bengals had a championship level roster at the time of close to it.
2.) Peyton was a free agent vs Watson who we would have to give up multiple picks for
3.) Burrow is a generational talent vs Andy who was a 2nd RD pick.
I'm aware of all these things. Though I'd debate with #1, now that I think of it. The 2011 Bengals were 9-7 and only beat a single team with a winning record (I think...it's been a while). It was encouraging, but we made the playoffs and got bumped by TJ Yates. Championship it was not.
