The second one. This is a tough schedule and it'll take a year to get all the parts in place and working. I do believe something different is happening in Cleveland.

I need to see the QB play, but without mid tier QB play (think Andy Dalton) we are at minimum 2 years away. If we get a QB in the draft who turns out to be above average we can see 9-7 as a realistic goal in 2019.

Lol, slow down folks. We've made moves and have a good draft coming up, but we're still 1-31 over the last 32. This talent infusion has to learn to play and win together.

I wish there was a true intermediate option: somewhere between "No, but we're close, definitely 2019" and "No, we're at least two years away".
I want to lean toward the former but the word 'definitely' throws that off. I think we're heading in the right direction. I'd be surprised if we made the playoffs this coming season but it could easily happen the following year. Definitely though... no, it is not a sure thing like that. So two years away it is.

John Dorsey's 1st KC team went 10-6, following a 3-13 season the year before. Playoffs baby! Super Bowl! (OK, maybe not, but a big improvement)

Can they win 2 in a row first, before I have to answer, can they have the 2018 draft first, before I have to answer.
I like this one, Does Hue Jackson get doused with Gatorade with the Browns in 2018? Maybe start that poll next month.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Can they win 2 in a row first, before I have to answer, I will go one further....can we win the opening game?! Win that one and I will think anything is possible.

If we do go, it is a fluke this year. But just some of the crap we played uphill against, our own stupid play, and some proven vets, it is feasible.

Cowboys went 4-28 over a 2 year span, with a number of very good draft picks and some key FA additions, 2 years they were in the playoffs, years 3 and 4 then won the Super Bowl.. it is possible, hasn't happened in 25 years.... due to happen again, right here, right now.

There's just zero way I can try to begin to fathom being in the playoffs this year or next year. I mean after this season it's something I probably could begin to think on depending on the result, but I'm on a prove it now bases before I think high on this team, staff and etc.

We should be close.
It probably won't happen this year.

Depends on how much longer the Steelers keep the Killer B's together.
