Underhill article: “Saints moves are telling us what they felt the real problem with the team was last season”

This is something that bothers me that I believe no one has touched on. I see all the talking heads and a few of you guys saying let’s rebuild, we are in cap hell blah, blah, blah.
What should we do? Eat the money and tank blah, blah, blah. I listen to all the relative talking heads even Matt Mascona.

Here’s my problem especially Matt because I know he played. If anyone of you have ever played football in your life sure you can do a rebuild but what signal does that give to Demario Davis, Cam Jordan and all the other 53 you need to buy in to give blood, sweat and tears to have a true roster that would be willing to want to compete. Footballl practice is a committed grind guys at any level. Playing is the prize. I know these guys are millionaires but they care. If u truly want to blow it up let them guys go and let’s play a tank team.

Real football players would NEVER tank. You can’t give half effort that’s how u get hurt.

We all work. Think about if your job gave you minimum resources to be successful. Sure if you are good you might can fight thru but why if nobody seems to care. Almost makes u want to just as much as the laziest person at the job.

At first I was like let’s rebuild but the reality I stated above hit. I can’t blame gum smacking Loomis with his approach lol. If and a big if we hit on this draft we can win it all or be close like 2017. Carr is capable. Run the ball effectively and Shut down the run…we are capable. Weak schedule capable.

Lastly the Saint brand is smart…. Put out a no name tank team or try to compete. Hmmm 🤔 all season ticket holders is going to see what they do. Sorry for the long post but again from a former player I feel a type of way.
I completely agree. You rebuild which is different than tanking because no team ever really tanks on purpose only when you HAVE to. This misguided thinking that yeah, lets cut the best QB we have to get 70 mil under the cap in 2 yrs and have a couple throw away seasons and we'll just draft our elite QB and we'll be SB bound. It way more likely than not we don't find that elite QB the 1st time in the draft. And we lose half our fan base in those throw away seasons
