This timeline only exists if you find the next Andrew Luck, which is crazy unlikely this year given this year's crop.
Just think of normal QB development. 2022-gonna be bad, take lumps and throw as many picks and TDs. 2023-gets better but still doesn't have much around him. Yet youre thinking wild card team. 2024--OK maybe you have a pro bowl-esc level QB but you think they should be challenging for division crowns.
Again that timeline only exists if you think we take Matt Corrall high or get lucky with the liberty kid being Lamar Jackson 2.0. If neither of those scerenios hold true, everything moves back in your timeline.
Face guys, this team is so devoid of talent its gonna be a long rebuild. Just like the start of the year take off the Lions glasses, this team is absolutely devoid of talent. It has maybe two, two players out of 53. Unless Holmes has a 1974 Steelers draft class we might 3 guys from the draft class and another three in FA. We're now almost to double digits of respectable players! Still a crazy long way to go.
