Quote:We spent 5 years weakening the roster by trading away draft picks in pursuit of home runs in the draft and overspending on marginal FAs only to end up with a resounding 2-14 record and you want to say how the current regime is going about it is the long process????

 

The main reason the current process is taking as long as it is, is because they inherited a roster with very few quality players, no depth, and no quality developmental players  unceremoniously got rid of the last breath of quality veterans in Knighton, Smith, Mincey, Cox, Mathis et al on D; Monroe, MJD on O.  All of whom are major contributors in their current homes save for the unfortunate Cox and a worn out Drew.


 

The reality is you have no idea how long this process will actually take or how long the results will actually last, none of us do, because this is a novel idea they have implemented.

 

If this process turns this franchise into a relevant team for a decade, then no one will care that it sputtered the first two years.

 

The reality is 4-12, 3-13, with no signs of drastic improvement around the corner.  Gradual, sure, meaning perhaps a few more Ws in year 3.  I can't reasonably predict even a 0.5 output as of now.  Can you?  <span style="color:#000080;">That's where the patience that you speak of is tested. 
If we had seen more tangible glimpses of near-future success (not just a titan squeaker, Gman collapse, or even a Brown sleepwalk; all lowly squads at that) then the plan/coaching would be a non issue to me.  As Dew pointed, patience is a Jag fan trait.  We've been in this for years.  Expectedly, in about 5 months after FA and the draft, this tone would soften.  As of now, wez gunna diez.</span>
