re: Legit Question---Why is the front office afraid of a rebuild?

Some people, even really smart and successful people get too emotionally invested in what was and lose sight on what's to come. The Saints organization felt so close to a title for a lot of the Payton/Brees years and haven't been able to face that fact that that window has closed. You're not in win now mode anymore. You need to be in build for the future mode but they keep trying to hang onto the past. They still obviously feel that they're "just a few pieces away" but the reality is that you're just an aged, great value version of what you were.
