It really does make sense to view next season as a transition year. Hire a coach that can manage the turnover and help maintain a good culture despite being severely talent starved and try to secure a top pick in the draft.
If they think Kellen Moore is someone special. The path for him to succeed is going to be so difficult and doing that while trying to win 7 or 6 games isn't going to help him long term.
The problem with next year... How many wins can you afford to get the #1 or #2 pick. Are we going to be bad enough to only win 2 games? It could be possible if the roster purge happens and we move on from Carr.
Just have extreme doubts that FO will be okay with going against their tendency with being BAD BAD as means to get through this cap situation faster and go after a new franchise QB.
The Saints organization is the longest standing franchise to go without drafting a 1st round QB since 1971.
The next closet team... Dallas Cowboys with Troy Aikman in 1989.
I would be very happy with trying a different strategy to return us back to a winning team that doesn't take us on a 4 year grind of 6 or 7 win season.
