How many years did keeping Allen and signing Carr set back the team?

YES...…the front office does! The ONLY mistake they have made is keeping with the "status quo" Sticking with what Payton/Brees built. DA and PC are not the answer. We all know that. The Payton/Brees thing is old, stale and outdated. Yes....they have some players that should not have been extended or shown the door by now. Its funny how 2 maybe 3 players only make a team old. Take those players away...its one of the younger rosters.
Give me a list of players on the roster who are young and you think could one day be top 5-10 at their position?

I'll try:

Olave - With his attitude I doubt it though.
Shaheed - Doubtful but maybe??
Breese - Looks like he has good potential.
Werner - Possibly
Taylor/Adebo - Maybe?

That's not a super young or talented and deep roster. And as I said in my other thread, it doesn't matter because the team doesn't have a QB. Until that gets situated, nothing else matters.
