Time to end this circus: Saints have wasted 3 years of our time (merged) (5 Viewers)

Silver lining....we may have a legit shot to draft arch manning. How cool would that be?

Sometimes I wonder HOW, out of 32 franchises, we are the ones stuck with the only invincible GM who keeps us in this ridiculously unbearable situation. The CAP, coaching, the draft, the problems are endless as noted in many threads on this site as well as many others. But the calls for change go nowhere. If he was the team owner it would at least make a little more sense as to why this catastrophe is allowed to go on and on, but he is not. If he was born and raised a Saints fan, like so many of us are, it might be a little less painful, but there again, he was not. The number one ‘who dat’ that keeps beating up our Saints is standing out front and center. Shameful, inexcusable in-house destruction. I think if Tom was still around today, even he would have seen the writing on the walls, and moved forward from his good ole friend. Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for big changes in 2025.

I admit this year has felt worse than many to me, but I’m a fan and have to remind myself I’ve been fan thru worse years and always had hope for the next year. Win or lose , I’ll always be a fan and the I’ll still watch, even if I have to drink too much. And like always, before next year starts, I’ll predict we’ll be 17 and 0. I’ll adjust weekly as needed

All of this success comes at a price my friend.

It’s getting better. We’re 52mil under for 2026. That will change some as we restructure, but we should be in much better shape in the future as long as we don’t waste money on crap we don’t need.

52 M under the cap would be an improvement. Let that sink in.

Nonetheless, it’s a baby step in the right direction, as was the Lattimore trade. Could it be that Loomis is taking steps to right the ship?

Oh yeah…. Next year is shot too…. Possibly much longer than that.

Our only shot at an interesting season next year is to surround Carr or Spencer with young playmakers on offense this offseason…. And hire a young offensive minded HC.

The rebuild of the defense starts in 2026 if the offense and HC look promising.

I won’t be watching many more games where the offense scores 0 - 14 points. I’d rather watch soccer. And I hate soccer.

But we’ve been taking those baby steps for a couple years. Covid is what sank our plan. Then we’ve been working our way back. As long as we don’t go on any spending sprees this offseason, I think we’ll have a healthy cap in 2027.

Why do folks keep saying this? There is no guarantee Arch is going to be the best QB coming out, he's barely played at TX.....

This is the status of the New Orleans Saints. Hopeless…..

5-12 season (and quite honestly should be 4-13 if it were not for the blocked field goal against the hapless Giants)
Salary cap hell with no relief in sight.
It is THE least desirable head coaching job in the NFL. Yes, it is an NFL head coaching job but what coach worth anything would want to come to this dumpster fire of an organization?
A GM who is still living in the past with the “Sean Payton” culture and who wants to try capture that lightning again. He can’t.
An old and aging roster.
Virtually every single position on the roster needs addressed and depth.
The can is no longer able to be kicked down the road.

We can fool ourselves and talk ourselves into this organization “just making the right moves” and “if we get this player” or “if we get this coach” and so on but the bottom line is the New Orleans Saints are terrible and will be for what I believe to be, the next three to five years. Last year, we all drank the proverbial Kool Aid when the Saints won in December of 2023. Now, they beat some bad teams but they won. And we are all about winning the South. A new OC will cure all our ills. Blah, blah, blah…….

I get the injury bug but this team is just flat out BAD. Rattler is a decent back up or third string NFL QB but not a starter.

This may be the shock of the Saints making the Raiders look like world beaters or just the reality of it all settling in but the Saints just have a very, very bleak future.

Change my mind……

This is all temporary and we’re not Falcons fans.

Hope I made you smile, your posts don’t suggest that it happens often.

Happy 2025
