Aside from winning the Super Bowl, is there a happier state for a fanbase other than having a young QB on a rookie contract show glimpses of being a star? (alien.top)

I honestly believe that other than actually winning the Super Bowl, there's no better time for an NFL fanbase than the first years of a team having a young QB that looks like they might be "the guy" of the future

I'd argue it's even better than being a perennial playoff powerhouse or a team that continually is seen as a favorite

Less stress. If you're a true contender with an experienced QB, every loss kills you. If you lose with a young QB doing something idiotic but they put up 300 yards and 3 TDs, you still leave the game optimistic. I call this the Josh Allen. I definitely feel like the Bills fanbase were happier two years ago when Allen was breaking out compared to now when he's seen as a star QB who should be leading the Bills to the Super Bowl.

That's definitely hard to beat.

Ending our drought was a wild but short lived high. Despite being great 2 years ago and through the first half of last year, that's still the peak for us since the 90's.
