Competitive rebuild nearly complete. Kwesi has put together a championship caliber roster. Window is at least unlocked.

Talk about turnover!

Some fans doubted a 'competitive rebuild' could or should happen. Question answered. Not sure how they could have done it any better.

This is what makes the NFL great -- even with a really good team, you have over 50% roster turnover (in this case way more than 50%) in three years. It is why ownership and scouting and GM are so important -- even if you have a bag of dog doo for a roster, a couple good drafts, smart free agent moves, smart contract structuring and boom, it can turn around in a hurry.

For sure, but most likely < 50% of the franchises dont have the luck and skill to pull it off...I'm talking franchises mired in the middle or perpetual losers (i.e. Brownies, Jags)
My real question is do you really have a purple 911?
GT3?
Weissach??

Doubted? You're being nice. It was mocked relentlessly.

Truth. Those vocal ones have been strangely quiet all of last year and now.

2/3 rds of KOC's seasons have been 13 wins or more.
Pretty incredible in a league where parity is the rule and you're trying to flip the roster to younger/cheaper/better.
Might have been 3/3 with winning seasons if they didnt blow through 4 qb's in 23.

If you are going from memory, that's a pretty comprehensive list...I cheated and looked up the Training Camp Depth Chart at the end of August, and the official roster for 2022...with players coming and going that year, it's tough to say who was on the roster, and who wasn't at what point in time...
One I think is off...Wright (if you meant Punter Ryan Wright) is still on the team. But holy cow, impressive recall! I'll add to this list, which underscores even more how much the roster turnover, this thing called "Competitive Rebuild" has morphed this team:
Nick Mullens QB
Kellen Mond QB
Sean Manion QB
Tay Gowan CB
Kris Boyd CB
Jonathan Bullard DE
Ross Blacklock DT
Dan Chisena WR
Akayleb Evans CB
Andrew Booth Jr CB
Armon Watts DE
Myles Dorn S
Troy Dye ILB
Ben Ellefson TE
Wyatt Davis RG
Greg Joseph K
Vederian Lowe LT
James Lynch DE
Johnny Mundt TE
Nick Muse TE
Esezi Otomeowo DE
Ihmir Smith-Marsette WR
Bisi Johnson WR
Myron Mitchel WR
Trishton Jackson WR
Parry Nickerson CB
Harrison Hand CB
Josh Dobbs QB
Kaylon Barnes CB
Ryan Connelly LB
Kyle Hinton LG
Jacob Hollister TE
Greg Mancz C
Bryant Koback RB
Jake Bargas FB
Chazz Surratt ILB
Zach Davidson TE
Jesse Davis RG
TJ Smith NT
