Don't get your hopes up. We are missing several pieces and it usually takes time. Especially when you start a rookie QB. Last year was the exception imo.
Remember... Dorsey said, "I am going to do everything within my God-given ability that we have as competitive as a team in the NFL as anyone in the NFL. I want to remind them. Please be patient. This is not a sprint. It is a marathon." and Reid said, "Before I interviewed with the Chiefs, I looked at every snap from every [Kansas City] game this year. Special teams were average. The talent overall, it looked to me like they were transitioning from an older team to a younger one. And I thought, 'With a couple, three drafts, very good things can happen here." Expect this to take some time. We are picking first for a reason and it's not just because of the QB. |

I can think of no less than 4 ways it could be.
Perhaps I should switch professions...

Underpromise, overdeliver. This team, with the right decision at QB, could be in the playoffs NEXT YEAR. In fact, I expect it. That's why we hired a seasoned and accomplished guy like Reid. |

It doesn't take 2-3 years to find a QB, CB, and one extra playmaker on defense, which is all we need in addition to a good coach to make the playoffs again. Especially in the weak-ass AFC. And it really helps to have the #1 overall pick in tracking down that QB. Hey, wait a second. Don't we have the #1 overall pick? And didn't we just hire Andy Reid? Well **** my jeans. Looks like we're in pretty good shape to bounce back to above 8-8 in this first year of our "rebuild." How d'ya like that? |

The 49ers, to me, illustrated the importance of a HC. Singletary had a beast of a team, but couldn't put the pieces together. Harbaugh came in and got the offense clicking with the defense without adding many new parts to the team.

Great QB play > HC > anything else on team.

This.
A competent HC/GM pairing can take a loser to the playoffs in one year. A competent HC/GM pairing can take a loser to a championship game in 2-3 years...

It helps to get your drafts right in the years when you are bad. Patrick Willis, Crabtree, Smith, Davis, etc. They hit on a lot on their draft picks in the top 15.
Can we say the same? Tjax, Dorsey, Poe... Ugh **** kill me

Marty was another guy who was able to turn a program around quickly. Find the right coach, staff and QB.
