NAS

All for drafting one if he is BPA, just don’t reach or give up additional assets

Save us

Basically telling the rest of the NFL his price went up

Injuries suck Looking to next year, we will have a stud on each level of defense to build around. Derrick Brown Trevin Wallace Jaycee Horn need to draft well and continue to find quality rotational backups, it will take 2-3 seasons to rebuild this defense

Yes, kicking the debt down the line and they have nothing to show for it. Chickens are coming home to roost

If I look at future at least we can do something to turn this around next year. We will be finally out of the dead cap and can rebuild roster, draft or sign a QB. Not sure you realize what kind of cap hell the Saints are in. They won’t be able to get out of it for years, even if they try to tear it down and rebuild after this year.

It’s like a Ponzi scheme, sooner or later it catches up

I know they’re better now but their cap situation is absolutely horrific and they won’t recover for years. They either have to completely suck for a few years or continue restructuring contracts into the future. This was started by Sean Payton who tried to kick the can for a few years and is the main reason he retired in the first place.

Exactly you can build a team around him, not every QB has to be elite or a future hall of famer to have success as a team

Funny because Delhomme was very average, had a lot of limitations, pedestrian stats (threw a lot of INTs), but was just clutch in most games except that Arizona debacle in 2008. I'm afraid we keep looking for a perfect specimen we'll be stuck. Fields has a lot of redeemable qualities, he can become a better passer. I don't believe that people can't learn to see the field or read defenses better. But you can't teach size, speed, arm strength and athleticism.

I agree with the OP, it’s better to build the overall team and insert a QB. Constantly swinging and missing or reaching for a perfect QB is dooming the franchise to a decade of basement dwelling in the NFL.

Isn’t that like biting my nose to spite my face? I could never root for this team to fail no matter how much I despise Tepper

Anything less than a 1st rounder isn’t worth it

Howell has no future as a starting QB

Remember when we stole him from the Saints in the draft lol

We would have been ecstatic if Bryce had these stats. Just sayin

Running game would be insane, visions of Lamar behind this offensive line

He’s getting benched, I would love to see what Canales could do with him. Unlike Bryce he has many redeemable qualities as a mobile QB and has a really strong arm. Unfortunately he also has trouble seeing the field and watches the pressure too much. That said, I would consider a Day 3 pick and kick the tires.

We can't just say Tepper sucks, we're dysfunctional so there's no way it'll work for us Chuba is on a cheap contract as a 4th rounder, so that's one draft pick that actually worked out. It would be dumb to develop him and let him leave for nothing. Resign him to a team friendly contract and then work to develop Brooks as his eventual replacement.

Most teams have a two back system, ideally one or both on a rookie contract and you rinse and repeat. Look at what the Falcons are doing with Allgeier and Robinson.

You’re underestimating the value of familiarity and fit. No guarantee to have same production elsewhere

I think Moore was injured and didn’t return?

Agreed, AND you can’t possibly evaluate the rest of your offensive players with Bryce stinking it up. With Andy we at least should be competitive and gives us something to get excited about in the future. Bryce is done and Canales has all but said that

Glad to see Coker getting more than Mingo but he also needs more targets.

Yes we have to keep trying which is why it’s important to continue to allow these young players to develop so we can surround a young QB with the supporting cast. Depending on the QB I would absolutely let him sit behind Dalton for a year.
