50% of major rebuilds backfire, not "a majority." And as I and others have shared with data, the majority of successful cup winners went through a rebuild.
Most posters on our boards (including you, as far as I understand) are on board with Grier taking "a step forward" this offseason. I think the difference is, you want to take a bigger step, and some posters (me included) don't want to get into a Detroit situation where we've come out of a rebuild a bit too quickly and get caught in the middle.
That said, jury is still out on Detroit, I wouldn't call their rebuild failed yet. I also think jury is still out on Buffalo and so does Greg Wyshynski on the new SJHN podcast. All to say, I would say very few posters on the SJ boards want us to be bottom dwellers for 4 more seasons. Hodge maybe wants us to tank next year, maybe a troll or two. But 4 more seasons of tanking? I haven't seen anyone say that. That's a strawman argument.
I've been saying the exact thing. Seems some of our fans don't understand the human element of this process. There's a reason a majority of major rebuilds backfire.
You had better pray he can scout talent and draft better than his idiot brother.
It's off topic, and unnecessary, but I don't understand why someone would look at the team in Miami right now and say they were poorly constructed, from the coach to the roster. Pretty exciting team with improvement ahead...
