Virtually every other team is in position to get better by a factor larger than us now considering our lack of cap space and bottom draft picks.

The big difference with the Seahawks analogy is that they had a blossoming elite franchise QB during that stretch. Even Bortles' biggest fans can't believe Blake is on the Russell Wilson path. I think we're more likely to be looking like a Bengals/Texans 2013-2015 stretch where we quickly realize we had a super bowl caliber supporting cast and we stuck with the QB too long and now it's too late to make an impactful change.

Which isn't to say we're done, I think we have several more years of playoff contention...but I fear we might have just seen our best chance at a  trophy slip through our fingers.
