I would rather deal with bad play knowing we are building for the future with young promising players, than deal with bad play and see high priced old timers play like Jansen, Smoot, Fabini, Kendall, Phillip Daniels, Jason Taylor.....etc trot out on to the field each Sunday.
We are spinning our wheels with the way yhte team has been run. It is time for something new.
I'm curious about this...whether or not fans can put up with rebuilding...or the ownership. I posted something related to this in another thread, when someone brought up the Ravens, Dolphins, and Atlanta. I mentioned that all of those team had losing seasons while rebuilding, and actually acquired some good players through high draft picks they got due to those losing seasons.

I think the fanbase is too impatient. I laugh when people mention the cliche "build through the draft" as an option instead of signing a free agent. i'm not sure these people know that building through the draft typically means getting a lot of young players and not winning many games while they develop. I know this doesn't happen ALL the time, but if you rebuild, you have to be ready to face a losing season.
