Rizzi today made another strong case to be the next HC. (merged)

Going back to what you originally said:

“The Panthers from the last few weeks that are at least competitive.”

Maybe you meant something other than the way it comes across, but I’m pointing out that the Saints have also been competitive the last few weeks, and certainly if you’re using the Panthers as the barometer. Do you really not think the Saints have been competitive the last few weeks but the Panthers have?

I never once said the Saints have not been competitive under Rizzi, you brought that up.

I said it's not that good of a comparison because we have played teams with a combined record of 29-39 while they have played a schedule WAYYYYY more difficult in that same time period. Being "COMPETITIVE" against a joke schedule that includes a descending Falcons team and 2 of the top 4 worst teams in the NFL is not something to flex about. The Panthers going from the laughing stock of the NFL this season to almost beating the Chiefs, Eagles, and Tampa in that same stretch is much more impressive.

However, you made a debate out of something completely off topic. Again, all I said in the original post was that if we continue doing what we have been doing "that is how ML likes to do it" then we are headed towards being the 4th place team in the division like the Panthers have been.

Let's just take a breath and accept that we can agree to disagree. I do think the Saints have been competitive under Rizzi it's just not as impressive as what the Panthers have done in that same stretch against much much much harder competition, I do think Rizzi has done what was asked of him, I do think the Saints should hire outside the organization and get some new life and thoughts in the building. My thoughts may not be right at all, I am aware of that as well.
