Ultimately to me the Super Bowl is the goal. But when you get to the conference championship or super bowl and play respectably, it does mean you are close, its a good thing. Having a .500-ish or barely winning record and maybe sneaking into the playoffs and getting trounced means little to me.

You admit that not every team can have a Patrick Mahomes, but you ignore the fact that the last teams to win it all without a Patrick Mahomes did so by not settling for an 'average' qb (Rams dumping Goff) and going under the cap to build a financial war chest before going all-in (Bucs with Brady). One could also argue that the Bucs didn't settle for an 'average' QB when they let Winston walk. Yet you think we can win it all by settling for an average qb and spending the same cash every year because we never save a dime to double it up the next year?

So basically, what you are are saying, is that we need to do what the Bucs did with Brady and go all in on Mahomes when he becomes available in five years. Sounds good to me. Until then, give me an average QB until that move becomes available. Right there with you on that!

At least we won't go twice as long since our last Championship like both the Cowboys (29 years) and 49er's (30 years) have done.
