Poor ownership, bad management and lack of talent drafted over too many years

I don’t know if we need to start over. I think it’s more that people don’t realize we have kinda started over and are expecting results quicker than they’re likely to happen.

Sums up the current Saints (and Pelicans) situation. Everything needs to be scrubbed clean and start over.

The rebuild from all of that started last year when the Saints were able to get cap relief cutting Carr.

It was NEVER going to be a 1 year effort even with a 1 in 50 type of event (finding a QB in round 2).

The incompetence of the administration was always a threat to the success of the rebuild.

We are exactly where we were a month ago. You are right to be concerned. But the chances you have are based in stacking talent in the next 2-3 offseasons.

The sad thing is that we an OL stacked with high picks and don’t have a good unit.

This is the key here and people need to not miss this. Every time you pick a certain position group in the first round, that means obviously, you aren't addressing any of the other groups. This means that whatever group you are investing that heavily in MUST be a premier unit in the league.


You've missed out on players Like McDuffie, Verse, Quinyon, Tyler Smith, Linderbaum etc and I get it, misses happen in the draft every year but damn man. You could have so much more talent across the team if you hit on your first rounders and it's okay if you don't pick those guys but you have a top 5 OL in football. You just flat don't. You've paid premium price for steak at chili's.

I didn’t mention the coach.
