Not at all. To use it as one example of many shows the point. Leaf is an easy example because he was recent, but I've given many examples from different teams. Furthermore, even San Diego's recovery took time and luck:
1-15
5-11
8-8
4-12
12-4
9-7
Even with the good fortune of getting Brees (IN ROUND 2), and then Rivers (+ picks), it took the Chargers 5 years to put it together.

I'm not sure why you're saying "exactly", but whatever works for you.
