Next year you will have Brock, puni, Jennings, Mason, bosa as your core.
That means we're pretty much rebuilding again. An NFL rebuild takes 3 years on average to go from sucking to back to contention.
Are you guys will to endure having a losing record this year then 2 more years of losing records just give shanahan his chance at a 3rd rebuild?
I wonder where you get the 3 year average from....?
Number wise, forget phase of the rebuild .....19 NFL teams have not won a playoff game in the last 3 years.
7 NFL teams have not been in Confrence Championship game in the last 20 years
10 NFL teams have not been in a Confrence Championship game in the last 10 years
21 NFL teams have not been in a Conference Championship game in the last 5 years.
This begs the question what signals the end of a rebuild? Is it winning playoff games, or being a title contender? Because, 19 teams have won a playoff game in the last 3 years, and 21 of them have not been a title contender in the last 5 yeas.
If loosing means your entering a rebuild, what do you need to start winning again? A good coach? A franchise QB? Impact players on both sides of the ball?
if that 3 year average for a rebuild is accurate (not sure if it is or isn't....I only know playoff droughts seem to last longer then 3 years), I would think having a great coach, a great qb, and an HOF pass rusher would give the team an advantage most rebuilding teams do not have.
