The single common denominator and the fact that we have sucked since he took over in 2018 is Tepper

This. Everything football related that David Tepper has touched has turned into dog poo. Ever since Tepper started "putting his stamp on the football side of the house" in year two after focusing on the business side in year one we've been on a fast track to become the new Cleveland Browns.

The only stamps I've seen on his football organization are the mushroom stamps our opponents put on our foreheads every Sunday.

Which mistake would be most likely to right the ship?

I was always in the other front runner(can’t remember his name now but I’m pretty sure he was the Charlotte local one) for ownership camp so that’s an easy decision for me. Follow that with not getting Fitts and actually getting a GM that was above Rhule.

My magic wand would take us back to 2013 and promote Brandon Beane to GM.

As for keeping it more recent, I would go back to the 2022 off season. I detailed my targets in the offeseson. FIRE Rhule & Fitterer in January. Remove Chosen from the roster & never bring in Mayfield. Trade Brian Burns and Derrick Brown before the draft. Trade down to accumulate 10 to 12 draft picks. Hire a coach and GM that committed to build an offense around CMC, Brian Robinson Jr, Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore and Jelani Woods.

Turn the picks from trading Burns & Brown into Devin Lloyd, George Karlaftis, Coby Bryant, and James Houston IV.

Load up on overlooked/underrated QBs to compete with Darnold. Desmond Ridder, Aqeel Glass, Brock Purdy and Jack Coan.

That's what I wanted. My magic wand doesn't seem to work. Maybe I can find a magic lamp.

Yeah that also requires a LOT of things to go right for us.

But, couldn't be worse off than we are now.

Tepper not cleaning house the moment he signed the check was the start of the decline. Not cleaning house again before this next iteration is continuing the fall. But his biggest failure is not hiring an executive that has a proven background (Steelers) is his and his alone.

He couldn't clean house either time. He has no fuging clue what he is doing. He needs some input because he knows nothing about the NFL

But do you trust Fitterer to do the right things with those picks?

No but we may have been able to use the Rams picks instead and kept Moore. Based on last year’s ending, the Bears and everyone else would have pegged the Rams as vying for top pick especially after dumping Ramsey, Lloyd and others. They’ve gotten lucky with some draft picks performing well above so our pick will likely be higher than theirs but the perception pre-draft was the opposite.

I’m not a Fitterer fan by any means but if we at least keep Moore and keep the 1st in 2024 that could be Caleb Williams then maybe we’d fire Fitterer/Reich but still be able to rebuild without waiting years.

Right now, it sucks to read your choices knowing that we don’t have the draft capital a normal rebuilding team has and we don’t have the pieces to really build without a tear down.

Tepper and it's not even close.  We struggled to some extent, but there has been nothing but straight misery since he took over.  Without Tepper, Matt Rhule would have NEVER been our coach.  Without Rhule the GM (Fitts or other) would not have been hamstrung for 3 years.  That said, you have a college guy trying to build a NFL roster. After that disaster, you have a GM on the hot seat making rash decisions trying to save his own neck.  Then you have a #1 overall draft pick at QB, ready or not--NOT--the coaching staff is forced to play because to don't bench the top draft pick.  Now the new coach is quickly becoming the scapegoat because the rookie in all his hype is playing, well, like a rookie.

Fug, we're the Jets south.

      Panthers get the day off for Victory Monday

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
