One could apply your “logic” to investing. Obviously not every stock/bond/property etc. goes well. Do you just blow off the ones that didn’t as “Oh Well, that’s real world” or do you study and try to figure out why it didn’t work out to avoid repeating the same mistakes? Do you research an investment beforehand through “experts” that have failed before, or do you pull a Weis and say “to hell what anyone else says, here is where I’m going to put my money”? I doubt you do, but it would be equally as silly as what the Saints did with Baptiste and likely produce the same tragic results.

You put the Saints draft procedure on a bullet-proof pedestal and refuse to find any fault living in denial. That is of course your right to do. But that is what I find ridiculous.
I'm sure the Saints evaluated how Baptiste (and others) turned out and took note and moved on. They all undoubtedly did far more reflection and evaluation than any fan has ever dreamed of doing. But what the Saints, and every other team, does not do is give a flying rat's arse about what any fan or so-called expert has to say. Nor should they.

So those few fans can just continue to stress over some guy named Baptiste while the real world of football moves on.

What I find comical is that some fans see their reflections and evaluations as having some sort of actual value ... much like those stocks you referenced. In what material manner does their reflections and evaluations of those football moves add any value? Personal pleasure of some sort, I get, I imagine. But beyond that? Nada.
