We need to go by what will likely happen for me to be interested in this thread. I'm going to post my somewhat likely to happen dream scenario. Cam is not coming back next season. Rhule is pointing out his mistakes and it feels like when he pointed out Teddy's mistakes. It's a wrap on Cam. We're still stuck with Sam for $18,000,000, so send his ass out there in 2022. I know that sounds crazy, but we need to draft his replacement in 2023. Pick a LT in the upcoming draft. We need a lot of losses to be in position to draft our QB of the future. Sam either plays well behind a better o-line and we're set, or he poops the bed and we draft a top 5 or 10 QB and his money is off the books. That should be the plan. If Rhule Panics then we'll do something really stupid. Rhule might trade our 1st round pick for a veteran QB hoping to win now. That would be the nightmare scenario because it extends the QB limbo period we are experiencing now. The new QB might win 6 or 7 games and push us too far down the draft to reach the top QBs. Limbo continues without an end in sight.

It depends on what we do at the QB position. If we draft a QB, then we will still need a starting LT and the QB will need experience. 2022 would be the rookie learning the ropes, and a terrible record. 2023 would be the drafting of a good LT if all goes well, and a center as well maybe in the second round. The 3rd round might be RG if Deonte Brown is a flop. 2024 could be a good season if the QB we draft turns out to be a franchise QB. So 2024 things could be turned around. Or... We stick with Sam and use our 1st round pick to add the final piece to our defense. 2022 we draft DE Kayvon Thibodeaux assuming we lose out and he is there. This would stop us from getting gashed in the run game, and would give us possibly the most lethal pass rush in the NFL by far. With CJ, Horn, and Gilmore on the back end there is no way we wouldn't have a dominant defense. If nothing else we would love watching our defense. 2023 we will know for sure if Sam is the answer or not, and his 18 million will be off the books and he'll be out the door if didn't earn it. If he was terrible, then we pick in the top 10. That means we have a clear shot at a QB or top LT. This scenario we draft a QB, and rebuild the o-line with the rest of the picks. 2024 we finish the o-line rebuild and fill in any remaining holes. We would see a lethal defense coupled with a now experienced QB behind a good o-line. Either way 2024 could be a good season if things go well.

I didn't comment in this thread because I knew next to nothing about Rhule at the time.

When Payton was hired by the Saints the Huddle laughed and thought he looked like a turtle. No one is laughing anymore, and our franchise is sadly in the toilet. We don't have a HC and coordinators who can make an average roster shine and overachieve. We underachieve on defense, and there is no plan whatsoever in place that could reasonably produce a good offense. I don't even know where to start.

Oh Seattle's game is postponed until Tuesday.

Damn the Seahawks got in front of us?

Miller again!!!

What is the record for tipped passes

Cam my knee is killing me leave me alone - Paradis

Thought Paradis tore his ACL

Busted hand and tipped passes galore. What does that tell you?

Miller....

We snap at .0000001 seconds on the playclock

Yeah the playbook is too small

Damn

Cam....

What was that???

The offense looks gassed

Seeing that 8 points is embarrassing

Yeah the bright side is we will have the number 7 pick

Snow yoh send the hounds on that play you jerk
