If you read my post, you'll notice that I said the teams who go from losing to playoff contenders overnight usually only have a few needs.

Also, just because a team turns it around for 1 year, doesn't mean they turned the corner, or are a playoff contender. The Saints, Ravens, Panthers, Bears, and Rams are all good examples of that. Personally, I don't think any of those teams are in much better position than we are. I don't have any aspirations to be like them. After all, we made the playoffs in 2005 -- does that mean we have turned the corner? Absolutely not.

I would rather be like the Pats, Chargers, or Steelers. They have lots of young talent, and they are patient.

And none of them took 10 years to be good..

I think that is a bit of an exaggeration but I think the Chargers are the best example (up until they fired Marty of course). The built through the draft for about 3-4 years and when the big picture was finally revealed it was a 13-3 or 14-2 (I can't remember) Super Bowl contender.

I think you're missing my point.

It doesn't have to be 10 years. Don't get stuck on that, because it's not my point. My point is that it should be more than 5. We should have a plan, and it shouldn't be hasty. Sure, it can happen in a few years, but it's not realistic to plan that way, IMO.

This should be everyone's sig. Exhibit A: Everyone was all over the Jets last year. They've turned it around. They've got a hot new coach, etc.

And now look at them.
