I think the Saints might be playing the long game right now and are close to already punting on next season.

Hire a questionable choice for HC, cut Carr and a few other big contracts to eat the cap hits this year and start trying to get them back on track with their years of pushing cap hits into the future.

Completely suck next year because of it all, get the #1 pick and bring franchise favorite Archie's grandson into town as the #1 pick, which also should make them the most attractive HC destination next year for whoever the hot name is.

They could have kept their questionable coach in that situation

For those who have Twitter access blocked when viewing on a work network, what's the gist of the twitter posts?

Here's what I see on my cell phone:

1. Conversations with Mike McCarthy and the Saints didn't go well.  No one was "enamored" with him.

2. Kliff Kingsbury decided to stay with the Commanders instead of trying to jump into a dumpster fire like the Saints.

I think this is possible.  Except I would build the OL and WR room.  I would play Rattler next season.  I would have to offense ready to go for a rookie QB.   Defensively, I would cut big contracts. If this is what I was planning to do, that is.

Kingsbury may fancy himself as the next Ben Johnson. Not so sure about that.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
