You don't have a couple of years to build in this league.most teams have talent windows.
A few core foundational pieces are the building blocks that survive. But every 3 - 5 years you shed groups of players that have propelled you to a new level; you hope.
Some of those foundational pieces can give you 5-7 years of consistency and presence on your team. They keep the momentum moving forward. QB, DE, OT or OG, CB, LB and maybe a WR or TE. Players that truly impact your team.
But in essence every team rebuilds every 3-4 years. Some for losing reasons a d some for winning reasons.
In today's NFL, the stark reality is you should know in 1 year if your team has truly improved due to FA and Draft. If not, you start into a talent deficit that eventually sends you to a rebuild at the core.
But remember this ... If you don't find your QB, you are spinning wheels until you do. You can't mold an offense or defensive scheme until you know what kind of QB you have. QB dictates everything... Even on D.
If we can't get a playoff victory this year, something is wrong with our design.
We can't let ourselves get into the "one more year" mindset. If it's built right, you should get into winning playoff football sooner and not later. Know when it is time to pull the plug.
If you lose coaches every year and players every year, what is propelling your team forward? Find those pieces, invest in them heavily and build from there. Constantly churning around them but keeping the core philosophy intact.
If Tua can't do it, the rest of the offense is pointless
