maybe at 0-14.
I disagree because:
-- there is no guarantee your #1 pick will produce. remember shawn knight?
-- we've actually had better luck with lower picks & free agents.
-- losing is also an attitude
-- just for the sake of honor. I couldnt do it. if it is ever confirmed that
teams do that, then football becomes wrestling.

You didn't read my later posts where I explained the importance of moving up in the draft. It wasn't to get one particular player. Being the "colts" of this year would give us the option of drafting multiple players we need at the front of the draft. This was never a good idea a couple of years ago because you had to pay big money to untested players, but now, with a rookie salary cap ...............

... and really, at 0-13, you would want to give up the first overall pick just to win a totally meaningless game?? really?

cmon, i've been a Saints fan nearly 30 years. I've been to whole lot of meaningless games and
wanted to win them all.

I never said I had given away my tickets and yes, I had them all the way back to the bag days, still have them today, and plan to have them another 20 years, but as I said in a post above, I've quit caring about this year. Without a coach, we're dead in the water. I want a team I can cheer for the next 20.
