ESPN Analytics fudges the math in grading Saints' offseason

ESPN Analytics criticized the Saints’ offseason strategy, arguing they should have spent more money to trade veteran players at a loss in a reboot:

Thats a good thing. Many of the media had low predictions on the Saints going into the 2009 season..

So his reasoning is due to our salary cap

He suggests trading away our stars for draft capital (which would put us in a worse cap situation)

When in reality the team was 9-8 (winning record) and close to making ththe playoffs.

Glad I don’t pay attention to any of that. I wait to see .

So many prognosticators, so little time….

The article did not make sense. It wasn’t an evaluation of the offseason moves but rather an article about the mismanagement of the salary cap.

Hit piece for sure. Even though we may be mediocre overall, I’m really happy with our off season considering the cap limitations

My expectations are low but come on that article is a joke

I used to care about all that kinda stuff. Now I’m just like whatever, I’ll just loosely keep up and it is what it is. 2011 vs sf, bounty gate and no call has ruined my overall fandom

UTR Baybee … it’s a great place to be!

ESPN Bet.

If you want the public to BET a certain way, one sure fire strategy to attract traffic is to influence the narrative...

So, not really anything about:

• which players were retained
• which players were let go
• who retired
• any coaching changes
• how the team drafted
• what reports out of OTAs/minicamp are saying

But typical salary cap bellyaching by yet another “sports journalist” who has convinced himself that having a ton of cap space is how you win football games.

It’s mid June.
The NBA Finals just ended.
The Stanley Cup will be decided in a week.
There is nothing else to fill the time on the networks/sites except for opinion pieces about the upcoming season until August.

I didn't open the link, but face the facts. This team is doomed.
