Okay, I know the sting is still fresh, so sleep on it if you must, but I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on this. Did you feel better about going forward after our loss last year vs San Fran, or our loss this year @ Seattle?

 

My personal thought is even though this season we didn't come close to matching last years totals, I think we're positioned in a much better spot going into the future.

 

Last year (at least to me) was a VERY pleasant surprise, but I felt like there would be a big step down in production this season. We hit on a lot of stop-gap players last season, but we all knew they were temporary players that would need replacing.

 

This season, we made it where we are with a VERY young roster, and expect us to have a better 2015 season than I expected in 2014.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I like where we are now (at 7-8-1) over where we were last year after our surprising season (12-4).

 

Thoughts?

 

*Not counting playoff games in our record, since I know somebody will mention it.... likely sooner now that I have this disclaimer :P

I added 2 un-related questions. Many people are posting they think Rivera should be fired, and many that don't think Cam is a franchise QB. I think those believers have extremely unrealistic expectations of where Cam should be right now, especially with Shula calling plays. The Rivera thing I can see how some people can debate, but he got us a division title in back-to-back years (yes, I know about our division suckage). He also instills belief into his players. They never quit on him. I find it remarkable what we did with the talent we have, and a big part of that is on Rivera for a job well done (and G-man of course).

 

So those 2 questions are just out of personal curiosity. Is it really that many that want Cam & Rivera gone, or are they just the outspoken ones?

When most people have no idea what the problem really is and can't fix it, they bitch and whine hoping someone will fix it for them. These are called Saints fans and don't belong here.

 

Even the Seattle fans that visited the Huddle complimented us about our group knowledge and nice disposition. So there's no excuse to stupidly spew verbal diarrhea here because you're upset we didn't win. Guess what, we're ALL upset! And shooting off at the mouth isn't an adult response, and makes the Huddle look like a bunch of idiots to the players that DO read and lurk here. Great message you're sending them by calling for their heads. If you're that pissed off at them, meet them at the airport and tell them to their face how bad they sucked.

We had a better offensive performance on the road with rookies. 2014 was a better loss. What a weird question to ask though.

That was my mistake on the writing. I tried editing it after making the thread, but couldn't. It should be "After which season did you feel better about our team's future." Sorry about the odd wording. After 3 am, brain no work well

I will say this about the poll: It's kind of like separating the wheat from the chaff. EgoDogg should edit the poll to include question about Shula. I'm interested to know what the breakdown for firing or retaining the OC as well.

I don't think there's a need for that. If there's anyone in favor of keeping Shula, they're reputation as a poster will be tainted forever. Haha

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
