Fact is we weren't rebuilding the base in 2014. We had been stocking pieces for several years before then.

All we did in 2014 is get rid of the pieces we weren't using as much and add a couple of new ones (and it was very few we added; maybe the least in the Payton era). That isn't anywhere near what anyone would call a rebuild in football.

And your silly little dictionary definition doesn't fly here because I disagree with Duncan on using those synonyms anyway. It wasn't a rennovation or retooling as we already had those pieces prior.

The rebuild started last year and this is year two.

You think we are rebuilding this year yet will go 11-5 or 12-4?

K. It wasn't a rebuild

If this team goes 8-8 or 7-9 again, you're still thinking reup Brees for another 4 years? What's the timetable for success here?

We've seen Indy flip a 2-14 to 11-5 the next year by adding luck. KC did the same when Andy Reid came on board. Carolina had a nice turnaround

So my question to you is, you have a top 3 QB in the NFL - and say we do finish under 500 for the third year in a row - you're content riding out Brees for another 4 years instead of trading him to acquire picks to actually attemptbuild a solid, balanced roster?

If you're content with 3 sub .500 in a row and want to keep Brees, you are exactly what this thread is talking about. Brees is great - if he can't right the ship and you're truly a fan, let him end his career chasing a title elsewhere - and we can maybe add 3-4 extra draft picks to our cache
