Lots of caveats to each of those examples, but the big thing is how hard it is to get over the hump. Consider how great TBL and COL are and how long it's taken each of them to put it together.

26 year rebuild lol
you're right though, who the fack knows, over the next 8 years any number of teams will be good...except the Oilers they will remain NG
