Saints met with top QB prospect Cam Ward [Schefter: CLE, NYG or maybe Saints have to make an offer compelling enough for #1 pick]

Completely agree. Let’s not kid ourselves that this is as bad as the Katrina year or Ditka days/pre-Mora days. It’s not that this is a horrible team, but that is part of the frustration. It truly feels like we’re in indefinite purgatory. Not good enough to compete but not bad enough to truly upgrade the QB position. Moore offers a small bit of optimism but this is still an aging team without much high end talent. It’s a team that needs a reset but without a clear path to even do that. Ward at least provides optimism and hope…because a good HC and franchise QB is definitely the quickest avenue to improve your team.

I agree, this is nothing like the Ditka years or Katrina year and purgatory is a good description of where we are bouncing right around the 9-8/8-9 record, a few less injuries we probably win 10 games. 9-8/10-7 can win the division and get into the real season where every team has a chance, but the best usually rises to the top.

I would say CKM provides quite a bit of optimism, the most since CSP was hired. A lot of the optimism is with is offense and ability to build it around the strengths of the players he has. For me, the optimism is with him being a former QB and every step below him to the QB is a former QB. This tells me that CKM and his offensive team, can look at any QB and envision and offense to build around the QB to capitalize on the QB's strengths. With that, I'm going to be excited for whoever CKM goes after as the QB1 of the future. Obviously, that QB is not on the roster as he hasn't thrown his full support behind any QB on the roster, so his QB isn't on the roster. If we draft Dart, McCord, Shough, Howard, etc., I'll be excited to see what he can do. If we trade for Milton and he throws his support behind him, I'll do that same.

My only wish/hope is that we get a QB that is at least 6'2" and 220lbs for the durability. I would prefer not to have a QB smaller than some CBs and Safeties.
