Sure this is our first 2-6 season and probably going to finish with 5-6 wins but most rational people see that this is a team in decline, not on the upswing. All of our top players are older and showing decline and some of our best young talent are not taking any steps forward. Meanwhile the rest of the league can improve their teams both through the draft and free agency.
We will have multiple sub .500 seasons in a row whether we blow the roster up or not. If anyone thinks that we can improve this team drastically by doing what they have been doing and not taking drastic measures to accelerate the process of getting out the hole, not this slow drag then it'll just take longer.
Also, in his 23 year tenure here take a look at Mickey's record without Drew Brees/Sean Payton. Until he proves that he can win without them that 15 year run had more to do with Brees/Payton than Mickey. Most of the drafts and free agency moves were busts during that period and Brees/Payton bailed him out. Mickey was the perfect GM for them during that period with his methods of kicking the can down the road but I dont think Mickey is the guy to lead a rebuilding.
