When would y'all say the Saints Decline started?
Posted by LaTexSaint on 9/24/25 at 10:05 pm
In my opinion, I thought it started when the Saints extended Brees in 2018 and refused to draft a competent backup. Brees was starting to decline and we need his cost to be low to improve the surrounding talent on defense.
Loomis was kicking the can down the road for years by extending guys with dead money on the cap that limited the teams true financial flexibility.

5. Blake (He would be higher if he played longer)

re: Can someone explain to me your logic on why Williams "deserved" that TD?
Posted by LaTexSaint on 1/9/24 at 2:32 pm to ruzil
It was a way to say FU to Dennis Allen. Allen has mismanaged this team so bad from the start.
Allen benched Jameis last year because he was hurt but could still play if needed. Winston lost his starting spot as a result. This year, Carr placed Allen in the same position, but he wasn't benched and continued to play bad while simultaneously blaming everyone else for his poor play.
The contract given to a benched QB because Allen wanted him was a slap in the face to the team as a whole. Kamara has said the team is playing for each other and the coaches don't have them prepared.
It was a collective FU and the fact that he's not fired says management and ownership is clueless.

What the frick has he done to deserve his chance? The redskibs offense was worse than ours and he was on pace to have his qb set the record for sacks until they benched him. Hell let’s just make Carmichael the head coach.
I guess the more than most white coaches have done to become a Head Coach. All of Andy Ried's OC's have become Head Coaches and none of them won a super Bowl as OC for him. The one that did, all the credit goes to Reid.
Oddly enough, the year without Eric B, no one seems to be raving about that Chiefs offense anymore.
I'm not saying I'm certain Eric B will be a good head Coach, but Kyle Shanahan had some really shitty years as an OC and so did Sean Payton, but they all got their shot.
re: Jon gruden on saints' coaching staff?
Posted by LaTexSaint on 1/9/24 at 2:19 pm to msstate7
Hiring Jon Gruden is just as dumb as hiring Allen was.
Gruden last winning season was 2008 the BUcs went 9-7 and the year before they went 9-7 and made the playoffs.
Gruden's record in Oak/LV before being fired was 22-32.
So are we really supposed to get excited about adding a coach whose last winning season was over a decade ago and the last time he was a Head Coach he was below .500.
Allen was a below .500 head coach and now we are excited about bring on another below .500 coach....

I support Jameis. DA is an awful coach. Jameis lost his starting job due to injury and Allen didn’t keep his same bs rule about injury at QB.
Also, Allen and Carr have thrown players under the bus all season and appear to be clueless on the problem with this team.
This team didn’t play one great QB all year and had the easiest schedule and we still was bad.
Allen and Carr beat only one team with a winning record.
With the players unanimously supporting Jameis, should be a sign that Allen has lost the locker room and should be gone.

Posted by LaTexSaint on 12/7/23 at 1:47 pm to armydude
He is selfish. This reminds me of when Sean Payton was trotting out an injured Drew Brees when Teddy Bridgewater had the team rolling.
If Carr is hurt, sit and heal and be healthy. Carr was benched last year and I believe he feels that he has to play thru injury to maintain his spot.

re: How much is OL to “blame”?
Posted by LaTexSaint on 12/5/23 at 9:59 am to Rohan Gravy
15% the blame
45% Carmichael
40% Carr
The OL is not very good, however, better playing can hide poor OL play.
Better QB play could mask poor OL play.
If we are struggling to block, then we should be moving the pocket and running screens more to keep the DL honest.

re: Rebuild? How?

Fire Dennis Allen and Carmichael
Tank.
Do a real HC Search
I recommend hiring:
Aaron Glenn as HC
Ben Johnson as OC
Brian Flores as DC
Restructure Carr, either he takes a pay cut with the ability to be traded to start somewhere else or be the most expensive clip board holder in the NFL, but he shouldn't take another snap in NO.
Trade Mike Thomas for draft picks
Draft the future QB and OL.

Still here. I still believe Jameis has the higher upside than Carr.
For the second time, Carr has led the team into a deficit and fans are mad that Winston didn't play the hero after Carr had the team behind.

When Allen and Carr threw Olave under the bus after Carr threw a horrendous pass, they both officially lost the team.
Then when you listen to their press conference, they take zero accountability for the failure of this team.

The entire team doesn't care for Carr or Allen. They are a tag team. Allen drafted Carr. When Allen and Carr threw Olave under the bus after a ridiculous pass from Carr, they both lost the team.

Mind you this is the definition of Thug.
Thug - a violent, lawless, or vicious person, especially one who commits a crime such as assault, robbery, or murder
Either the person that calls them thugs are dumb because they are using language that they don't know the meaning of or it's code for something else.
Which one is true?

If you find yourself using this language to refer to a black player and they don't fit the definition of the actual word, the yes, calling a black player a thug will be viewed as racist.
Imagine a sport that is as violent as hockey and amazingly they are never referred to as thugs.
Not calling anyone a racist, but just be mindful of the words we choose to use.

Daronte Jones didn't get a fair shake. The defense was truning the corner the last half of the season when Coach O took his hands off.
We should have stuck with him a little longer. This is by far the worse DL, LB, and DB play I have ever seen from an LSU team in over 30 years.

Carmichael just calling random plays.
Should turn the playcalling duties over to Curry? At least see if he can be creative?
