re: Saints franchise

What in the actual F has been their thinking? Everyone had to have known that Drew couldn’t throw the football anymore. Yet we consistently traded away picks in the draft to move up and take injury prone defensive ends. Payton realized that he and Loomis messed up, so he jumped ship to tv and then on to the Broncos

I've been around since the days John Mecom owned the Saints and also around long enough to appreciate the importance of culture that is set from the top. Once Tom Benson came on board, the ship began to turn around though it took awhile. Now with him gone, Gayle Benson seems to be a disengaged owner and I would be surprised if any major strides are made unless they get a new general manager or, better, new ownership.
