You suck for a while. You stockpile high draft picks. You lose and stockpile more. Your good coaches don't get pilfered by the losers. Some of your good players are hidden away where you don't have to pay massive contracts to resign them. Then someday you fill in the missing pieces and make your super bowl runs.
Nobody wants to suck even for a while.
But I will take that any day over being a Lions fan and never going to a super bowl in franchise history. I
It is bad enough being the Bills and losing 4 straight super bowls, and going 0-4 but at least you can't blame your owner for not trying.

And the Lions have done exactly what you say builds a team- they have stockpiled high draft picks-And taken a "franchise" QB at #1. Your theories don't hold water.
