The Lions were a mini dynasty in the 1950's. Ever since the Ford family bought the team, they have had only 8 playoff appearances and one playoff win in over 60 years. People make fun of the Bengals for not winning a playoff game since the Soviet Union was a country. At least people remember the Bengals once upon a time being Super Bowl contenders in the 1980's and the only team to actually make the 49ers sweat in the big game. Not too many people remember the last time the Lions won the NFL championship in 1957.

[@cisium1184]

The only sport in which tanking even potentially works is basketball. In other sports, no one player sufficiently alter the team makeup - not even a football QB or a baseball pitcher has this effect. You need a good coach, and then you need to incrementally improve your players across the board - which by almost by definition means you are actively trying to achieve a middling record. Only after you've assembled that nucleus can one or two impact players elevate you to contention.

2020 friends, I bring you this update from the future on each of the teams Five covered. * Texans: Let's just say the Watson thing didn't quite work out, but the rebuild didn't take as long as you might think. Replacing Bill O'Brien with competent staff was a huge move. Also, if you're into college football, I recommend watching some Ohio State for the next few years. * Washington: Rejoice! Your team was mercifully freed from the clutches of Dan Snyder. Also, it took some time but you may have found a quarterback. * Browns: Well, the good news is, Baker Mayfield ended up looking pretty good, and you're going to love the rest of this season. Bad news is, you still have a stupid owner who's going to do stupid owner things. * Colts: Strap in, it's gonna be a rough ride. * Buccaneers: What if I told you that not only does the Tom Brady signing pay off in a big way, but that you *don't* fall off a cliff even after he leaves? * Lions: Honestly, you probably wouldn't believe me if I told you.

I think the Colts are the closest to that among teams that made this list.

It's just a matter of whether or not he'll end up showing anything resembling the talents of Mahomes lol

[@adamkingston2231]

@@ColtsPacers1 The only concerning thing is the timeline of the offense and defence might not match up well enough. Eason is probably 2 seasons away from being a quality starter and by then they might start losing pieces and coaches on defence and Nelson and Leonard will need extensions. They will get helped by a weak division. I’d say their best chance at making a deep run is 2022, Titans will probably be heavily declining and the Jags and Texans wont be competitive until 2023.

Once a team signs the QB to a mega deal the make up of the will have to shift. That’s the problem with the Eagles and Wentz. If your QB makes 30 million a year he will have to overcome a weak o-line or a lack of weapons or a papier-mâché defence like Russ is doing now.

Things could have gone right for the Browns a whole lot earlier than 2014. In fact, during their very expansion year Kurt Warner was placed in the Expansion draft, and out of the 37 players they selected, their only quarterback choice was a guy named Scott Milanovich. By 2002 only three of those expansion players were even on the roster. And then in 2000, the Browns used their sixth round pick for a new backup QB named Spergon Wynn, who wasn't even good at COLLEGE football, let alone the NFL. Among others still available that deep into the draft was the guy who had just led Michigan to a thrilling Bowl victory against Alabama to cap off his college days..... Tom Brady. This 2020 Browns season really has been a long-awaited breath of fresh air. They should be staying a while.
