FO offseason mistakes (1 Viewer)

[los226]

1. Signing Malcolm Jenkins
2. Not signing Brady (How can you tell Brees that he can’t come back?)
3. Not re-signing Bridgewater

So far these are looking like the biggest mistakes of the offseason that directly helped the NFC South’s chances of dethroning the Saints.

This is silly

I would say not making significant changes to our porous defense was the biggest mistake. Brees can still ball, but the D is still making the same mistakes over and over again and the good players seem to be regressing.

There isn't one GM that would cut Brees to sign Tom Brady.
Bridgewater is pretty much running the same offense as Brees, mostly short passes with high completion %..
Malcolm Jenkins, that the only debatable one..

I might give you 1 & 3, but no. 2?

Well... I'll would call that one... no.2.

I never said that Brees was worse than Brady or Bridgewater. My point was that they went to a division rival and it improved their roster... Brady being the most pivotal

But as we saw on Sunday, he has the arm to take those deep shots when they are there. That dart he threw on that seam route was nice.

He was the perfect guy to take over after Brees. Letting Teddy go never made sense to me. All I can say is, Payton is super high on Taysom. He sees something in the guy that very few do. I have faith that there's a plan for post-Brees Saints that isn't some sh#tshow search for a QB like what's been going on in Denver.

We’ve beaten both of them, so....????

What I find fascinating is how so many suddenly are enamored by Teddy now. Especially when countless posters dragged for him during games, because he held the ball so long and wouldn’t pull the trigger.
Amnesia has hit this board hard.

I love Teddy. I even made a thread before the season about how I’d still be rooting for him even though he plays for our rival. What I won’t do is rewrite history and act like I didn’t read(and participate) in threads lamenting how conservative and meandering our offense was w/him under center. I swear I recall the same ones crying about us not re-signing him, were previously begging the front office not to make the mistake of pinning our hopes on TB’s “mediocre“ arm. Some even complained about his body language after a bad series.

In my opinion, Teddy is a top shelf second tier QB with potential to be bottom cabinet top tier. I honestly don’t think anything he did yesterday is beyond what Jameis can do. I don’t fault the office for letting him walk, IF they truly see Taysom as the heir. Now, Taysom actually being heir capable is a worthy debate that should continue. But, I don’t think the front office did the wrong thing regarding Teddy Two Gloves.

Jenkins has not played well. Neither has anyone else in the secondary. Hopefully everyone gets it together and the move looks better come playoff time.

Teddy signed a $20 M a year deal for 3 years and Brady signed a $25 APY/2 year deal. Even if we had wanted to push Brees into retirement, it would’ve been impossible to come anywhere close to matching those offers with Brees’ dead cap hit.

We beat both of them...

Let’s re-visit this thread when the Bucs are division champs and see if we’re still enjoying that week one win.

I agree with Jenkins and not signing TB...Jenkins is old and he too much into his social campaign which I'm not against, but he's not focused in helping the team ....Bad signing in my opinion ..
