Rebuilding strategy, forty-niners or saints?

LOL Cam was just a stop gap for them he was never going to be their serious QB of the future.

They tried Mac who ended up failing and back to square one and tanked for Maye/whoever they pick at 4. They cleared their cap space out and where pretty active during FA.

Two completely different strategies it'll be interesting to see how it works out for both teams.

Of course Cam wasn't the QB of the future, but they were trying to get a winning season and a playoff appearance with him. So it wasn't an attempt to tank.

Frankly, NFL teams just don't tank. The NFL is just different than the NBA or MLB. The only team I recall that truly decided to tank was the Colts who chose to "suck for Luck", but that ended up not working because the terrible team they had after they drafted Luck ended up getting him hurt and causing him to retire early. Now they are back in hell trying to find a QB and taking shots on guys that were never going to make it.

If an NFL team ends up being bad and getting a high draft pick it's because they made bad decisions that lead to them sucking, not because they chose to lose games.
