Drex

I also heard we hired Paul Dietzel but I can't get a link to the States Item to prove it.

I'd like to agree with you, but you're living in the past. This is a "what have you done for me recently" kind of league and fan mindset. The steady decline should be obvious- personnel, poor drafts, FA mistakes, subpar coaching from top to bottom, and FO miscalculations. No one is irreplaceable except maybe Drew with a restructured contract.

Since we are in the season of analyzing the reasons for our decline this year, whether it be personnel, coaching or both, how important has Drew Brees been to CSP's head coaching career? Conversely, how important has CSP been to Drew's career?
I know this is hypothetical but who believes CSP would be gone by now if not for Drew?
Don't get me wrong, nobody is a bigger fan of Drew and Sean than I am when they're working together. But if we're looking forward, don't we need to consider all possibilities including life without one or the other? All options are on the table thanks to this year's performance. The obvious needs are OL, CB, LB and pass rusher. Restructuring Drew and JG are next for free agency cap room.
But realistically where would this team be if not for Sean and Drew together?
The window is closing and I'm starting to look 5 years down the road instead of just to next year.

Bring Hoyer back!!! If JF plays, kiss that game goodbye.

I own him in Fantasy Football. I say emphatically NO !

Conspiracy theory?

The next 4 weeks will of course tell the tale.. But a strong possibility exists that the SEC West will eliminate itself from a National Championship once the dust has settled. This will leave teams like Oregon, Notre Dame, Florida State and TCU in the Final Four. What a travesty this would be. The SEC West has the best teams in the country who could be sitting at home watching this play out. So much for our new system. The SEC stands to lose the most as long as this system is in place.

Either late for Bucs or very early for Packers.

This is the problem with our society. We need to live by the same standards that we demand of our "professional" athletes.The only difference is that they are under a microscope and we are under the radar. This is NOT just NFL an problem.

I'm sure Sean Payton at some point said, "I'm sorry. I got it wrong". But as we know , CSP had no recourse except to accept his punishment. So it's good to be king when you have no one to answer to except the ownners and sponsors. The ownners need to step up to the plate and deal with Roger's performance or lack thereof. They owe the fans and the sponsors nothing less.

Should really help our SOS. This year's home schedule sucks except for one or two games.
