When you suck for a good number of years you can load up on young, stud talent because you draft high. You also typically have the cap space to sign good FAs.
Once you become good you no longer have the benefit of drafting high and at some point your talent will need to get paid and there is only so much to go around.
I have been vocal about trying to see how Burrow does without elite weapons, but the more I think about it the more I think he will be fine. Maybe not as explosive, but still really freaking good.

It's why the whole "Do like the Patriots" stuff is just wrong. Or really, anything Patriots.
That's just not gonna happen again. Ever. It just won't. The league is built so that it won't. Too many things going against you.
