Buffalo has been a horribly mismanaged team for many of those 12 years. They are finally on good footing now.
People point to them and other teams as 'this is why rebuilds suck'. Those teams needed rebuilds not because they went through their cycle, but because they were terribly mismanaged, had no choice but to rebuild, and then because they were terribly mismanaged, continued to flounder. Teams suck when they are poorly managed whether they are trying to win, or they are trying to rebuild.
I think a well-managed team usually doesn't have to outright rebuild. If it does, I don't think it has to last over 3 seasons. Heck, a team can bottom out for a season or two, and then come up again.

Provide examples of outright rebuilds that have only taken 2-3 years please
