Finally figured out the Carr conundrum

Because Pete wasn't seen as the primary issue until Week 6 last season, when truth is, he has always been the main villain of the Dennis Allen era.

And how do you not was always my question as plenty of us were pointing to Pete from the get go, not just with the benefit of hindsight as "they" will want to claim. How does anyone even remotely familiar with the Payton era not know that Pete was never the playcaller let alone the people inside the front office?

It was so frustrating how long it took for the Saints to admit they were wrong. Yeah, you don't let fans make the decisions; but they were so pathologically mired in the idea of a smooth transition rather than blowing everything up (which I agree with) that it kept them from seeing the forest for the trees and wasted a couple of years of "doing the same thing".

I just wish DA had been a little less nonconfrontational, less antithetical to Sean Payton's style of complete control and insisted on some changes instead of keeping everything status quo.
