The temptation to win now

There is a contingent of fans that think the things that went wrong last year, like injuries and DA, were the only things that went wrong last year. They don't see the QB position as a problem, they don't see our aging players as a problem, they don't see trading away draft picks to move up as a problem and they don't see our incredibly thin roster as a problem. They think it was just bad luck and want to run it back the same way, with added liabilities from kicking the can and signing free agents we can't afford, and deal with the consequences later.

The problem is that we've been doing it that way for a while and still not winning. Even when Drew was in his last couple of seasons we needed a QB, and to get younger, and depth at lot of positions. We were on borrowed time even then and now it's 5 years later and nothing has changed.

I'm giving Loomis some grace for being an optimist and believing the window was still open for the last few years and I won't hold it against him for brushing over our issues when speaking to the media. But I'd like to see a shift in tactics to match the actual reality. This season is the perfect time to pivot with so many other changes coming.
You talk about things that went wrong LAST YR and then cite things that were done yrs before like trading picks. We cite the MAIN things that were issues last yr as injuries, which were at an EXTREMELY high rate and having a bad HC. QB was the least of our problems last yr, but I get it you don't like Carr. The thinness of our roster was exacerbated by INJURIES.

None of us want to run it back the same way , nor have we said that. We just do not want this full rebuild that almost never works that some people want. I hardly think that was borrowed time.
Tanking or deliberately putting yourself in a position to have a throw away yr does NOT guarantee success

You mention Brees's last couple yrs did you forget that we won the NFCS and a playoff game in 20 and came a Cook fumble away from the NFCCG?
