You cannot start Bryce Young again. He is not an NFL player.

yea AR would have been a solid pick too. I agree on the culture thing but I just can't see them actually giving up on Bryce after one year and one game. Not saying that Bryce gives us the best chance to win, I don't think he does 

Bryce was never ready to be a starter. He needed to sit and that's ok, but they threw him in day 1 and this is what we've got.

I know we’re just trying to find something to be excited for but kinda hard to judge XL when the saints weren’t really even playing defense yesterday. 

they were just kinda….nearby…the receivers while Bryce did Bryce things. 

sucks for XL because Bryce will not be able to get him the ball this year. It’ll be a wasted year of his development. Honestly he’s a reason to bench Bryce and start Dalton. 

The saints took pity on the panthers, you never see a NFL team do that. You could see players not putting out full effort, deal is it didnt allow panthers points even with the help.

Its been sooome moons since I recall a NFL feeling sorry for their opponent. 

Still nice to nice XL look like a NFL WR and I was already thinking he was on the three year til the light comes on.  Of course he now has to learn maybe the hardest lesson, you got to be constantly good each week.

The only reason he was even draftable was because he was supposed to be some football brainiac. He was running protection meetings by the 2nd week of camp last year lol. No one leading up to the draft labeled him as a "project" or anything like that.

we had options.  how can they be so wrong?  Sounds like they have yes men around tepper.  you need a round table where nobody outranks anyone else during the discussions

Hire people to run the show and make major decisions on your behalf. Fully step aside beyond franchise altering decisions. But even then let the people you've hired make the call. Give them some time and rope and if they poo the bed you start over. He can't do that. He is arrogant petty and ego driven. Think back to him holding a press conference after firing Reich where he purposely mispronounced his name. First of all. You shouldn't be the one doing this you should have someone in place like I just mentioned. Second of all. Extremely childish and small minded behavior. That's a big part of the reason why ultimately Dan Morgan was just about the only one willing to take the GM job here. Ditto on Canales.

I could see this happening at some point (hopefully soon). He's not a stupid guy. Eventually he HAS to come to grips that he shouldn't be involved in the important decision making when it comes to football stuff. Sure hope that time comes sooner than later though....if it ever does.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
