At least we’re not the Saints

I know they’re better now but their cap situation is absolutely horrific and they won’t recover for years. They either have to completely suck for a few years or continue restructuring contracts into the future. This was started by  Sean Payton who tried to kick the can for a few years and is the main reason he retired in the first place.

The bill always comes due eventually. It's impressive they pushed it back this far but they need some kind of reset.

The fact the Panthers are tight with cap with the level of talent on the roster is so much worse. Yes it clears up quicker but it's not like we have been using it well in the past. And that is as recently as this year...

Seems like they need to figure out the balance of when to push and when to eat cap. I guess the 49ers are somehow affording guys and I never hear about their cap issues. IDK but the next evolution is due because the Saints figured it out and now it's running them over.

It’s like a Ponzi scheme, sooner or later it catches up

It's a system where when you mess up it starts slipping. We are the example of that. The Saints have slipped with the Carr contract. He isn't worth that and it's showing. Now they have to dump good talent and wait to eat their mistakes. They also could have sold on some guys earlier. It's not like they are bad at drafting.

Imagine you making fun of another team when you are the worst franchise in football.

 

Panthers fans we can no longer make fun of other teams. Look in the mirror we are the joke!!

If I look at future at least we can do something to turn this around next year. We will be finally out of the dead cap and can rebuild roster, draft or sign a QB. 
 

Not sure you realize what kind of cap hell the Saints are in. They won’t be able to get out of it for years, even if they try to tear it down and rebuild after this year.

Haven't the Saints been in cap hell for years tho?

 

They somehow always sign big FAs even when they don't have the money.

Yes, kicking the debt down the line and they have nothing to show for it.

Chickens are coming home to roost

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
