Rebuilding strategy, forty-niners or saints?

Yeah, everyone can see the disaster coming to SF. They’re about to really overpay for a guy that needs a lot of help to succeed.

Their run of success is coming to a very screeching halt.

What’s crazy is they’ve been one of the best teams of the past 5+ years, but will end up without a single ring to show for it. Just goes to show how hard winning it all is.

And maybe I'm wrong, but I think the choices the 49ers are making are bad decisions that could lead to them being bad for a very long time. They are more or less doing this to pay a big contract to Purdy who I think is a Carr level QB or maybe slightly better. That's a lot of money to pay for that kind of QB and the same reasons I think having Carr for this team are bad I think are the same for the 49ers. They aren't going to have the money to build around him.

I get that that is the reason they are not paying their good vet players and traded Deebo (they need the money to pay Purdy and will need more to build around him), but they are going to have to really be nearly perfect in the draft for this to work out for them. It could easily blow up in their faces.

Not that the same is not true for the Saints, they are going to need to do much better in the draft than they have in the past, but at least they have a solid based for the team and they aren't locked into a mid-level QB at $40 million plus AAV for 4 or 5 years. At least not yet anyway.
