Hardest rebuild? (Long Term)

[jyod21]

I’d say the Dolphins would be the hardest. Their best players are aging, they don’t have a strong young core, they don’t have a franchise/future qb.

The dolphins have a pretty putrid roster. Minkah is a stud but I've had to completely overhaul the rest of their roster.

I started doing a Broncos one and that was difficult due to their offense. Seahawks would be a challenge also after losing a lot of their defense, plus there o-line needs major work still

I actually went with the browns, mainly because their team kinda sucks and they have a stud young qb. But as for the worst, it's probably the jets. I thought about trying to rebuild them, but I like the browns uniforms more.

Personally, I think (depending on cap room) the Packers would be tough too, outside of Rodgers. They have nothing else besides him, and if he ends up leaving that franchise is ******. And im being 100% honest in my claim, I'm not saying this just because I'm a Bears fan.

EDIT: Regardless, the worst rebuild is a good team with 0 cap room that will never have enough to contend. Just because you know you cant blow it up because you're still a good team, yet you always know it'll never be enough and wont matter.

Great thread OP, lots of interesting takes in here. I was on that Bengals vs Colts rollercoaster for a while (Dolphins would be a good rebuild project, but I can't use a division rival lol), but the Colts have too much cap space & I'm not really into a Bengals CFM - so I finally settled on the Buccaneers.

I remember, in a similar thread, someone brought up a good point about how the most challenging rebuilds are the middling teams. Not too much cap space, not getting top-5 picks, roster is suspect, etc.

So taking that into account...I'm rolling with the Buccs. (After year one) Gonna move on from Koetter, switching up the schemes to west coast zone run and a multiple 3-4, and I'm going to try to draft Jameis' replacement in the '19 draft and bring him along slowly - I'll let Winston hit FA after year 2.

Should be pretty interesting. Gonna have a ton of work to do with the defense after switching schemes.
