You can't draft like Vermeil/Stiles/Carl did for 4 years, give big signing bonuses to Kendrell Bell, Pat Surtain, Eric Hicks, and Greg Wesley, and magically expect to be a contender a few years later. The roster was badly mismanaged, and it will take 3 or 4 offseasons to fix it.
The first offseason the team let bad contracts expire and signed Ty Law to what in reality was only a 2 year stopgap contract. The second offseason, they signed a LT, drafted a WR and RB, and improved the D. The third offseason, the offense will be gutted and we'll add a corner and next year Croyle and Bowe will get a chance to play 16 games.
To rebuild correctly takes time.
