Quote:An overhaul is harder for fans to take.  Hurts worse in the short term, but if done right isn't as much long term pain.

 

Our problem was we drew it out too long, kept too many pieces that weren't worth keeping.  But most of all QB so bad for so long, miss after miss at QB is the death kiss.

 

In perfect hindsight, of course.

 

It basically comes down to this: if the team that is rebuilding/overhauling has a competent HC, GM, and owner, the team has a great shot at a successful rebuild in a shorter period of time.

 

If NOT, then that team will continue to be bad, year after year after year, until they do get some competent football people in their top positions.

 

And yes, you have to find an above average or better QB to have any chance of long term success.
