The Saints were pretty terrible in terms of personnel management after their 2009 run. Credit them for turning the corner since the end of 2016. 

Exactly. And their drafting has been remarkable.   But on a similar note I still don't have a lot of faith that every team follows the cap rules in a black & white manner  (nonTBreference ).  When I see the aints get out of cap hell in less than a season and a half, when I see Brady playing for $15M / year i think any financial investigator worth their salt could find multiple teams with significant financial cheating against the cap.

Saints remodeled their OL and backfield through some superb drafting. They have arguably the two best pass blocking tackles in the league. 

Carolina has one running back (who doubles as a slot receiver) behind a terrible LT and mediocre line. 

Well, and even the improved drafting was due to an internal move. Specifically, hiring Jeff Ireland as a draft consultant.

They can at least say they didn't just bring back the same people and expect a different result.

Jeff Ireland didn’t light the world up in Miami, but in more of a micro-role I agree he’s done a fine job. 

Carolina is still behind on this front. At least Marty Hurney (after all these years) isn’t still running the front office.

Wait. I forgot. He is.

To be fair almost every loss except maybe one or two was by a touchdown or less.

 

cam was hurt in every game in the loosing streak. He was hurt bad enough to be the cause of every loss. When your QB is hurt so bad he can’t throw then it falls on the QB.

 

this is the logic the front office is probably using.

 

The panthers could easily have been a 10-12 game winner if Cam was healthy.

 

so why make that many changes?

Ron was this close to losing his job, I believe it because he was freaking out during the pressers.   Vegas had Ron "most likely to be fired" at some point too.    It tells you that Ron is on the hot seat right now and his future here is anyone's guess.

 

For the record Washington as DC screwed us and so did Cam's injury, but Ron shares some of the blame too.

We always make decisions too late. This is what will happen: We start out terrible with a losing record and Rivera gets canned a little before the midway point leaving us with no options and chalking up the lame duck season to a loss when all the fans and every other analyst knew midway through the 2018 season that he should've been canned. fug Tepper.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
