Time to end this circus: Saints have wasted 3 years of our time (merged)

There’s a lot of playing the results in this thread… even with the bottom finally falling out there’s still appropriate context, and a lot of bellyaching about post-Brees QB drafting. The team hasn’t quite been in position to get a guy who’d be The Guy, and this year isn’t looking like it either. Reaching for a Kenny Pickett or Matt Corral just to say they picked a guy high isn’t any better a guarantor of success than going for top-available FAs has been. Quarterback is hard to get right and now it’s the Saints’ turn on the carousel. Tried with Jameis as the understudy-turned-heir, but the health stuff made that hard. Tried to go shake it up with the best available FA and that hasn’t borne greatness either. Would I call it wasteful? No. They made an effort to keep putting a winning effort on the field and I’ll always respect that over planning to be bad on purpose. It just didn’t work. I hate it for the veteran guys who stuck around and tried to keep a winning tradition upheld. It just didn’t work. My hope is that they can get the train back on the track without having to sacrifice “lost cause” seasons that take training camp as such. But one thing that won’t happen, is I won’t be convinced that guys like Alvin Kamara, Taysom Hill, Erik McCoy, Cameron Jordan, Demario Davis, and Tyrann Mathieu - all that veteran leadership and experience - wasted my time. Absolutely not.
