I'm so sick of hearing that it takes 2-3 years for a new regime to build a contender

That's total BS. Look at Miami. Look at Atlanta. Don't tell me either one of those teams had more talent last year than the Bills, either.

It only takes that long with a moron like Jauron (and Williams and Mularkey before him) at the helm.

It's nothing but ***** excuses from this organization for the past 10 years plus. I'm sick and tired of hearing "it will take time" and "next year will be our year".

3 years is average and Dick hasn't gotten it done therefore he's below average. Don't tell typo that though.

But that's all we have, and all that keeps us going. The indefinite future will be rosy. The actual now sucks.

3 years is avg in what universe? It's avg for coachs and GMs that don't have a friggen clue.

That's what a good front office, great draft class, and good job in FA can do for a team. One thing both of those teams have that Buffalo doesn't have...... wait for it....... wait for it....... a QUARTERBACK, you know, the most important position in all of sports? Yeah, that one.

Thanks, that was really insightful, and helpful.

Miami decided to quit playing games and hire a real football person to run the front office and less than one year later they have gone from one win laughing stock to most likely winning the division.

Well winning in the NFL isn't the rocket science that so many fans in Buffalo make it out to be. There's a pretty simple formula that every single team that wins on a consistent basis follows. The Bills have chosen to be the renegades and try it their own way, clearly it has failed.

Again, thank you Captain Obvious.

I don't think it's BS, I think it depends on what the team is trying to do and where the team was when they started rebuilding. I think it can take longer than 3 years in some cases. For example, if you're in a competitive division it could take longer, if you have no DP's due to poor management bya previous FO,your slalry cap situation, If you need a franchise QB, there are many reasons it could take three or more years to rebuild a team.

Good point. Just don't expect Ralph to do the same. Real football guys like Parcells cost real money. Russ Brandon does not.

The Falcons are in the best division in football right now and are doing a fine job
