Benson isn't firing her co-owner.

Yep. The Saints franchise is in a weird spot. The owner is for all intents and purposes a reluctant owner who is only the owner because she inherited the franchise. She's not someone who owns the team because SHE wanted to own a franchise and compete. Thus, she really has no desire to do much to make the franchise better. So the franchise, in effect, is "owned" by two guys. One of whom is the GM...who's not going to fire himself.

The reality being such, does that GM finally accept the Brees era window has closed and it is time to fully rebuild? Even if that means (likely) suffering through some painful seasons in the process.

Regardless of what happens in the final 6 games, the Saints need to (1) turn over the coaching staff at the end of the year...from top to bottom; (2) Start shedding salary in the most reasonable way possible. Even if that means getting rid of some good, productive, and well liked veteran players (3) strongly consider taking a QB in this upcoming draft. Unfortunately, the Saints are stuck with Carr for at least one more year (maybe more). Bring a young QB in. Let him learn for a bit, then put him in...knowing the early results may not be great.
