Rehash of an old thread I started ages ago, but it's a new era for the franchise with different issues and challenges. The question is how long does it take to build/rebuild a team? A few posts/comments recently have broached the subject and I think it's a really fascinating question. Another way to ask it, how long should any regime/HC/GM be given to build/rebuild a team?
Feel free to answer from a Redskin specific POV, or more in the abstract.

Well I don't see us rebuliding the team , I see us adding to a franchise QB.
Now for a skins POV, I think if we do not finish at least .500 Mike should be gone, he got here 4 years ago and started with Mcnabb and then Grossman, finally to RG3 and this team may only have 1 good year out of the 4 he's been here. How many more chances should this staff get?

Its totally dependent on the team.
A team, like say the Jaguars this year, I'd say realistically 3-5 years. They're so bad and so much needs to be done, that it can't possibly happen in just a season or two.
A team like the Bears, who Trestman took over, I'd give about two years. Right on the brink, a lot of talent already there; shouldn't take as long.

Umm..
Wouldn't really say we are rebuilding.. I hate that term, as everyone builds a team in their own image. It's just been more difficult for us because of the CAP situation. I don't see Mike going anywhere for a while. Unless we turn in an 0-16 season which is 100% unlikely.

From a Redskins POV I would argue we are still 17 million under the cap. We have had coaches who have tried to make better from very little. I don't think it was in this FO gameplan to be playing under the cap for this and last year. I think we will see what Shannahan and Allen anticipated for this team next year.

I will agree with this, they really inherited a pretty horrible situation. With the lockout in 2011 and then the cap penalty in 2012/2013, they haven't really had a chance to bring in outside help.

I was going to bring up this same point. Please remember we've been at a massive disadvantage when it comes to obtaining players the past two years. We've had some good drafts, but have not been able to supplement with good free agent players. Missing out on Winston at RT is a big one to me.

We have had to gamble on some players both in the draft and FA that i am not sure would've been brought in otherwise. I don't think Merriweather is even a Redskin last year without that cap hit.

Exactly....What moron would believe without the cap hit we would choose to load our backfield with this band of rabble?
Haslett? sure..........
