Just sitting here watching Fua and McClain get abused.

Just sitting here watching Fua and McClain getting abused on NFL replay... we really need to consider making a move before the trade deadline. I'm not saying these guys won't develop into good players, but it's clear they're not ready.

I'm not even talking about finding a DT that can get penetration, I just want to find someone that can hold their ground - that would be an upgrade.

Wont happen. Development year

yep. Rivera is pretty much doing the same thing w/ them he is w/ Cam. Put a HUGE load on them and hope they grow up quick.

This season isn't about wins and losses.....just b/c Cam is surprising people doesn't mean what this season really is about changes.

Yeah, CatMan I've noticed it too, moreso Fua than McClain though. I've noticed we keep rotating Hardy and Johnson inside, whom are both great bullrushers and letting our deeper DE rotation get on the field-hate being forced to do that.

In fairness, New Orlean's interior OL is very good. Ron Fields has played well enough-he needs more time on the field.

Do fans get a refund for a throwaway season?

but is it really a throwaway season?

If this season helps guys get better quicker....is it really a waste? I mean, Cam's usage is a perfect example....probably could of squeaked out another win if we took some pressure of him in some key spots in the redzone, 3rd and 2nd situations, etc.....

Would you rather have that extra win or put it on a rookie to help him rapidly develop so that this team can get better quicker?

    • Yes. Fitt said he liked Young for two years. He hitched his wagon to him. Reich and Young were going 2-15, nothing I said we should get would have saved him. A new coach plus Tepper (and Morgan) would have wanted the draft assets we kept or got to be used by a better GM/Coach. SMH, you need to read my post and your own again. You said: “So we should have sold off all of our talent and what?” I was being sarcastic that they still were in the roster because the guys you are saying we shouldn’t have sold off got sold off anyway but instead of getting full value, we got scraps. We had an opportunity to sell at the highs and instead we let the stocks lose 50-75% and then sold them. Because we didn’t tank in 2022 when the Rams basically handed the idea to us, we either set the team back several years to where we won’t do anything and will be back at the drawing board or kept enough talent off the team that we may make the playoffs but we still won’t be a top team like an extra handful of 1st rounders could have gotten us.
    • Holy poo... we have allowed the fewest goals in the playoffs, total. Including the teams that lost in the first round... lmao
    • It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.
