Honestly though I don't think the state of the league is really that big an issue.

Everyone clearly really enjoys the project which is the important part. Whilst we all would love to be as successful as the Cowboys/Dolphins, I don't think anyone is actually upset about it. I know you said you don't want people to set their expectations so low but I'm sure a lot of us love the building up aspect of being a GM and some things take time. So whilst some users might just be hoping not to suck now or hoping to just make the playoffs, I'm sure those plans will change as they improve.

Like for me personally, I knew that my team was not set-up well for the future about 3 seasons ago. I had an aging team, little development at youth and a bad cap situation. I knew I needed a drastic overhaul and wasn't getting near a superbowl any time soon. So I just wanted to make a team that could consistently make the playoffs and try build from there.

I feel like I'm 1 year ahead of what I thought the timeline would be mainly because I went 10-5-1 in the initial rebuild year where I expected ~7 wins. Then the team returned and played better the year after (despite the 10-6 record) showing that it wasn't just a fluke. So I think in the next 1-2 season I might actually be a credible threat to make the superbowl
