To be honest, from the starting point of the roster we had, the "talent" we had, and the bad luck we keep seeming to find on the injury front, this team needed much more than three years to rebuild.  No other team in the NFL was even close to having as bad a roster as us when the current management took over. 

 

I really can't think of a time when Gene Smith was around that he actually drafted someone like Robinson or Bortles, and to a further extent Allen Hurns that's honestly let me think that in a few years when these guys develop that we might actually stand a chance. 

 

Usually NFL teams have one or two rising stars from the draft, we had practically nothing for that huge stretch of time. 

 

I'm guessing as long as we get to 6-10 this year without many more blowouts like sunday that there won't be a reset.  Most of the good teams have a ton of consistency and the majority of times teams are just hurt by constant coaching changes.
