How is there no logic to it?
Believing that the success of this franchise was based on culture that he built, and that he could just plug in a coordinator and continue that was a crime. That's based on ego and ego alone.
Having players age isn't something that's unique to this franchise, FYI. But extending underperforming vets? That's a choice.
Our method to the cap was fine when we had Drew Brees under center and our window was always open. Once he retired, that window closed and it's time to stop borrowing from 3-4 years in the future. You reset, you draft well, and if you land a QB you can win a championship with, then you can have that discussion of cap manipulation again. But continuing to act as if this was a Superbowl roster was pure negligence.
Now we're stuck with a pretty bad roster, unable to get out from our average quarterbacks contract, and financially tied to a downright bad and aging defender in Tyran Mathieu, and underperforming once heroes of this franchise in Demario and Cam, but they're 36. It's just not logical to keep making these choices and then doubling down on them.
And then to gaslight this franchise constantly, telling fans to look past the results? Yeah, no. That's weak, that's sad, and that's annoying. The franchise needs to be better than that.
