Team rebuild formula ver. Who got it right?

I would prefer to follow Tampa's formula of rebuild. They were also in an extremely similar situation to ours.

Get your QB; His first year will be a down year/ learning year = high pick next year

Get the best DT available. Since DT isn't a huge impact position you can have success the following year while your DT develops into a monster.

Who do you think did it right in a similar situation?

You'll all think I'm crazy, but the Lions.

Yes, the Lions... the Detroit Lions, yes.

Their problem has been that the QB they picked hasn't been healthy, but when he has played Stafford has looked very impressive. They've been aggressive in free agency & trades and have hit on a number of really good young players via the draft in Suh, Pettigrew, Louis Delmas, etc.

I see them making a playoff run this year if Stafford is healthy. Considering the extreme lack of talent on that 0-16 team when Jim Schwartz took over he's done a really impressive job overall. We're not nearly as bad off as they were, so I feel like if we take the same approach we could be contenders in 2 years if Cam works out.

I think dt is a pretty big impact position, the ONLY reason the defense was bad is because of DT

The Falcons went QB, OL the following year, and DT the year after.

The Falcons went QB, OL, RB and TE in their first year. 3 years later, and their defense is still a work in progress but, I don't think anyone would call their rebuilding anything less than a success.

The Bucs are still very much a work in progress across the board. About the only positions they are settled at are QB, DT and maybe WR. Still to early to judge their model.

IMO you have to go after the QB, but there has to be one there worth it. (there are none this year)

Take a look at the:

Lions: Stafford

Rams: Bradford

Colts: Manning

Chargers: Rivers/Manning trade

Falcons: Ryan

I think this is the way to go about rebuilding, but only if the right guy is there, i.e. Luck.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.

      Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
