This isn’t the NBA where you need top 5 picks multiple years in a row to build a contender. Mahomes was a 10th overall pick. Josh Allen 7th overall pick. Lamar 32nd pick. Jalen Hurts a second rounder. We won a Super Bowl with a 3rd round QB. Teams get “stuck” in the middle class in the NFL when they are overly committed to mid QBs. If we don’t see the FO make a move for a rookie QB this year, we can worry. But there is good young talent at premium positions on this roster, and solid vets that can be moved for additional draft capital. We aren’t “Mired” anywhere, this is a bad take
I want people who have the OP’s take to watch the Patriots Giants game.
That is what really bad teams look like. That is the level we’d need to get to before I go blow it all up - and yet Bill’s still there at Foxborough.
If you define mediocre to mean not a perennial championship game team (i.e. top 4), the pure odds mean you will be right almost every season. Just because you set a bar that you miss 90% of the time, that doesn’t mean you should reinvent yourself completely.
But why are you assuming that significant organizational changes will automatically mean a step back in the short-term in terms of our roster development and/or on-field performance? To me, that’s just classic negativity bias at work.
