In this instance it is kinda of insane considering what
@Montucky is suggesting defines insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Pace had already built up the OL and D. He extended Leno at fair price, before his rapid decline he was an above average LT making average LT money. Signed Sutton. Drafted Whitehair. Signed Massie. Extended Long. Drafted Daniels. Not a dominant group but more than serviceable especially with a better QB. Pace also built D that had a solid 3 year window where it was SB caliber.
Now all those pieces are declining or gone. Still no QB to be found.
The bottom line is it is easier to retool (even without 1sts) than it is to find a great QB.
