This situation isn't just any simple ordinary situation. This franchise has basically been a gigantic cluster**** since 1971. Sure, the Marty years were "nice" but anything since then has been an illusion.
They're back to Square One, which is to try to put a team on the field that isn't embarrassing to the fans or the city.
It sucks but it is what it is.

Super Bowl or Bust was the 2005 strategy.
If you have a young QB and you hit, you gradually improve. Even in the years you don't win a SB you are almost always competitive. That removes the embarrassment factor.
Look at the Colts with Manning, the Patriots with Brady, Packers with Rodgers, and so on.
The QB alone will make any team competitive if he's worth his salt. You don't have to hand out Daniel Snyder contracts; you can take a slow, measured approach and still improve markedly with a viable young signal caller: just like the Colts, Redskins, Seahawks, and Bengals have done.
