Well, Let's get Ben Johnson as HC and a QB with a top 2 pick in the Draft (1 Viewer)

[saintjay]

Why is Ewers even in the conversation? I don't see how he is better than our young QBs.

 

[webster]

We aren't even coming close to the playoffs. Even if somehow we win 6 of the last 9 games, that only puts us at 8 and 9. We'd likely have to win 8 of the last 9 to even have a shot at the playoffs. That's not happening.

We need to keep DA for the remainder of the season because he stinks and that'll almost guarantee a higher draft pick. We then need to hire Ben Johnson and, assuming we only win 1 or 2 more games this season (or none), we'll have a top-2 pick in the draft. Draft Shedeur Sanders or Quin Ewers - both are elite, special QBs. Let's start from scratch on offense.

Just my hopeful opinion halfway through this embarrassing season.

I agree, it’s time to invest in a young qb with an early draft pick. I think Archie was the last first round qb chosen by the Saints.

Johnson will have his pick of jobs next year.

Why would he ever want to come here?

What the Saints have:

An owner who has no hesitation in spending whatever is necessary to acquire the players and coaches the team believes they need.

A GM who has no hesitation in making bold draft day trades and annihilating the cap to stay competitive.

Both the owner and the GM are extremely patient and give a minimum of three years for someone to succeed, or fail.

The ONLY ugly thing about the Saints situation is Loomis is still walking the cap down so they can't be as active in free agency and trades as they'd like.

They've bent over backwards trying to give a loser tools to succeed with. Imagine what they'd do for a guy like Ben Johnson.

Agree with that part.

I would also add a division that’s ready to win.
You’re not chasing a Mahomes, Hurts, Daniels, Allen, or Jackson in the South.

Just look at who his dad is.

That has nothing to do with anything really. They both have a supreme sense of confidence in themselves but you have to have that to be great in this game at nearly every higher level. How was he a poor teammate and a distraction off field by poor or bad behavior?

Ewers is not that good of a QB

 

[SweetT]

This would not be the year to force pick a QB. Get some dang plug and play guys, along with playmakers. Worry about drafting a QB next year or something. Btw, I like Sanders as an NFL QB. If he is there when we pick, ngl…….it would be hard for me to pass on him. I just don’t think we would have a chance to get him.

Ben Johnson to Chicago or Jacksonville to work with two young QB's.

 

[Crawdaddys]

How about this: A combination of hiring Ben Johnson, while trading fair compensation (whatever that would be) to Detroit for Hendon Hooker?

Very possible you are correct. Everyone talks about Rattler, some of it because of college, but Haener just looks like he has “it”. Mostly because of his poise. I can’t shake the feeling that next year after more experience that he will be capable of being a top 20 QB if he had a different Head Coach.

I just don’t think any QB, not even Stroud could’ve come in as a young rookie or sophomore and find success under Dennis Allen

Jake Browning is the backup for the Bengals. He is better than every rookie in the 2025 draft including Cam Ward, and seems better than Derek Carr. I’m honestly surprised how everyone forgot what he did last year.

Please prepare yourself, there is almost no shot that DA gets fired. We would have to get blown out in every remaining game for it to even be considered. Even then there is no guarantee.

I think that's the stage of depression a lot of us are drifting toward. The people that can make the call really don't care what the fans think. We're obviously dumb and lack the capacity to see the big picture like Mick.
