No need to rebuild.....ever. that's what bottom dweller losers do.

The Jets and browns have been rebuilding for 30 years. Deciding to "rebuild" offers no guarantees. They pile up high draft pics and still suck

Pretty much this. You are gambling big time when you want to completely nuke a franchise and start from scratch. If it were the 90's again you'd almost have an argument. Fact is that today's Saints aren't cellar-dwellers. They are an aging middle tier team with a cap problem. The correct way to do things would be to phase out a lot of the older players for younger blood, draft a quality QB that you can mold for the future behind a capable veteran, and don't bury yourself under mismanaged contracts.

Going scorched earth like Deion Sanders did at Colorado would be a financial and logistical nightmare.
