I largely care mostly about whether or not this organization is moving closer to being a regular contender. Not a once in a decade fluke.
So I look at the overall assets in the organization more than the standings.
The rise in standings will come in time, as the overall talent level in the organization improves.
Right now it isn't good enough.
And it hasn't been for damn near 30 years.
A lucky playoff run 2 years ago doesn't change that.
Eye on the prize - which is being able to compete for the mug on a regular basis.
You are thinking too much in absolutes. "A proper rebuild doesn't go backwards".
So every time a year gets off to a bad start you BLOW IT ALL UP!!!!!?

Have I said "Blow it all up"? I said Brad Treliving should start to take some heat.
He inherited a team that made the playoffs in his first year through no work of his own (sure, agreed, total fluke (funny how we say that now, we fought to the death defending that team back then)) and it has gotten worse each year since and no area looks like a position of strength. He should definitely be taking some heat.
If next year is another year of regression than yes I think we should retool on the fly. Doesn't have to be a "blow up" but some moves should be made to try and address weaknesses by using some of our assets and not by signing scrubs.
