Quote:And, conversely, what Gus and Dave did to this roster was a direct result of the Gene Smith's tenure. 

 

Of course, Blaine Gabbert was not the quarterback for all five of those wins. Let's also note the downward trend from 2011 to 2012. It's not exactly like the roster was going place in 2012 and Gus and Dave destroyed that momentum here. 

 

The end of Gene Smith's roster turnover produced two wins, I distinctly remember you keeping your wits about you through much of Gene Smith's time (myself included, I can admit), and yet eight games into the new regime, you suddenly can't sit still and see what happens for even half the time you waited it out with Gene?

 

Interesting.

 

It's because of Gene I'm weary on the whole wait it out procedure, during the time I patiently waited for Gene Smiths picture to come together we saw team after team after team rise from ruin.

 

The days of needing 4 years to turn a team over are gone, teams are consistently turning the roster over and showing improvement in years 1 and 2. Why is it that we have to wait 4 years for every rebuild?

 

those teams that turn it around and show progress in the first 2 years also follow a shocking trend, they build on whatever talent was around them and improve the roster as they go.
