IMO, you are mixing up two different issues.It is always easy tol say that the rebuild is going to take several years. I heard one coach a few years ago say that the rebuild would always take the length of his contract plus one year.
Saying that the rebuild is going to take years is absolving the current front office of any responsibility for the results next year. This is the modern NFL. Turn arounds have occured in the two year time frame. We're now on year two. If not now, exactly when should we hold the front office accountable for failing to achieve the goal of turning the team around?
Hold the front office accountable? Absolutely. I have never, ever been unhappier as a fan with the FO than I have from the end of last season to now. I don't like the strategy of stripping the team to an expansion team rather than building off a core. They did much more than was necessary and if they didn't intend to tank they did everything accidentally to set it up that way aside from getting Fitzpatrick as QB.
Having said that, now that our car has run out of gas in the middle of nowhere - we still have to walk to the nearest gas station to get gas for our car. This is going to take time no matter whose fault it is. We're stuck with it and have deal with it. I just hope the gas station isn't too far up the interstate. This is going to take time.
