The events in the Hobbit take place roughly 50 years before The Lord of the Rings (I could be off on that).

No you're right, 50 years I believe.
That's why Bilbo doesn't look old as fata in this movie. I haven't read them, but these are the movies where he'll actually first find the ring. I think anyway, or would assume. Having never read them it is all wild guesses on my part, but I know a dragon is a villain.
