I just don't understand managements apparent phobia of the so called rebuild. First there are the economics that have changed since the late 90's early 2000's, they aren't in danger of losing their team to Jacksonville Florida or somewhere obscure. I would even argue that fans are more "in touch" with their team than ever through social media and sports shows 24/7. Fans aren't dumb and they'll still support the team (we're here now aren't we?).

Would they rather have a team sitting 30-25 with mid 30's multi million dollar players or a team sitting 30-25 with teen/early 20's players making less or just over a million with potential to be stars?

They are in the entertainment business. I'd rather watch a 22 year old kid bust his hump out there than some mid 30's dude who floats around wondering what he's gonna spend his millions on.
