What if they take it on the chin this season and then end up with a Howell or Rattler next year? Ya know, what we should've done last year.

That won't happen with Brees...when he comes back! Honestly, it probably wouldn't happen with Winston either (provided he's being whispered to).

Edit: What I'm saying is that they won't be bad enough. There will be teams that are worse and less likely to trade out of their prime real estate

That's what people have been saying about the Saints forever and somehow they always figure it out anyway. I'm to the point of just admitting that they're a helluva lot better at cap management than we've been.

They don't really have much to show for it though. 1 SB win (that was gifted to them after katrina) with an all time great QB and above average HC... They were mediocre until that historic 2017 draft saved their asses and even still they haven't been back to the SB since then.

Yeah, but they've competed most every year. That's all you can really hope to do. Just compete. You gotta catch some breaks to win it all. Like having the Chiefs forced to play without an OL.

And yet all they have to show for it is Super Bowl Katrina.

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
