...was embrace the suck.  Imagine if Wilks didnt really try and we finished that year as the worst team.  We would still have all the draft capital and DJ Moore to build around Bryce or whom ever.  I think Reich and company would have felt better because they could in theory, pick another qb if Bryce wasnt the chosen one, the next year.  Wilks is a great coach and he was coaching for a job Tepper was never going to give him, which is sad.  Tepper fugged us like the great glass elevator from Willy Wonka, sideways, backways, frontways and any other ways you can think of.  It just amazes me how bad we screwed up a tank in a year we desperately need to tank.

Not even last year. We should have embraced the suck AS SOON as Cam left. All those years fuggin around with the likes of Teddy, Darnold, and Baker could have went toward rebuilding this godamn thing. We could have already been rebuilt and in a position to compete for superbowls had we done just that. Tepper did the perfect speedrun on how to derail a franchise.

Don't care who disagrees, what we should've done is drafted Justin Fields. 

Sometimes the obvious answer is indeed the answer. 

He was right there for the taking!

 

Why would you draft a CB when we needed a QB at the time smh

 

Fields with CMC/Moore could have been something worth building around imo.

Agreed and Fields was my draft crush that year. We went all in on Darnold like dummies. Fields with CMC and DJ Moore would be a fun offense. The funny thing is Tepper is the one who wanted Fields, but he let Rhule and company make their call. I wonder if that’s why he became so involved this time around.

That makes perfect sense.

To this day not hiring Wilkes hurts me. Everything was right with giving him a chance. Give him a 2 year contract to prove himself. Keep last year’s roster intact, add Thielen, add Chark. That team at least knew what a first down looked like. Our culture was back. With our brand of football. Our kind of players. Literally everybody but Dave and Nicole were joyful. 

But it was Jerry ball. Traditional beat your a$$ Panthers football. We may not win, but there’s going to be something wrong with you when you leave our stadium. We’ve had losing seasons, but we’ve never been the get right game for other teams. Rarely have we had a guaranteed L. We had stars.

Dave needed Dave ball. Wilks was a man’s man. Not allowed. Weekly meetings would not be pretty.

I actually didn't mind Teddy.  Our mistake was that we somehow convinced ourselves that all we needed was a better QB.  TB5 was good enough to get us to the guy, but we decided to start swinging for the fences instead of playing the long game.

And here we are.

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

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
