LOL what?
Regardless if you're in a "rebuilding mode", your ultimate goal as a franchise is to (every season) compete to win for a SB. Herm's teams never did that outside of backing into the playoffs in 2006. That team was a fraud standing on it's last legs from an old previous aging regime, only to completely implode in the playoffs. If you're not good enough to make the post-season dance, then at least you see progress in the team from season to season. Under Herm there was literally no progression.
Even though Herm landed a handful of good draft picks (Hali, Bowe, Charles, Flowers, Carr, Albert) his teams collectively got worse and worse each year. And that's not even remotely debatable.
