Saints should rest their starters...

I am damm near positive that when players look back on this season, they would much rather see a 7-9 team that won 5 of their last 6 games. They are playing to win, not for draft position.

They are playing for pride, and buiding a culture. And they can give one poo over who they beat, or where and when they beat them.

Losing for the sake of a few measley draft slots is just plain counterproductive for a team trying to instill a culture of winning. Beating whomever you are playing, no matter the conditions, is where we want to go. Losing for any reason, defeats that purpose.

I say, beat the Ain'ts. Period. And GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Saints are going to play their starters and should. They are going for home field advantage which s huge for the Saints. They are a muuch tougher team at home.

I think our offense can score points on them but am not sure our linebackers and secondary can stop Brees. Should be a good measuring stick really. I would love to beat them in the dome and deny them a first round bye. Let them do it the hard way.

    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible. 
    • Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.   
    • Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
