9-8 with the first full month being displaced by Hurricane Ida. 9-8 with an all-time record number of starters during a season due to injuries and COVID. 9-8 with the starting QB going down in the 7th game. 9-8 without arguably the best WR in the game and clutch placekicker for the entire season. 9-8 with 22 players out with COVID for a single game. 9-8 playing only seven games at home during a 17 game season.

Context is all important. 9-8 given all the team faced is far from mediocre. It is remarkable.

I respect what you think we should do, but I am relieved we have who we have making the actual decisions.

Who Dat!

You don't respect anyone - even yourself. So then we're not talking about the last 5 years? Nice deflection/shift.

Poor little speedo and his ego.

It's really like he can't wrap his mind around it. I'm not talking about the last 5 years, I'm not even talking about the 9-8 season this year. When I look at what we have, the cap we have, and just the big picture in general we are kind of positioned to be stuck in mediocrity. We aren't going to have the team we had this year next year. The cap is not going to allow it. We aren't going to have the coach either(which Payton imo had one of his best coaching seasons this year dealing with all the crap). We are not in an ideal situation and we really need to do something to shake things up a bit. AG is one of those guys that thinks you can still win a game down 40 points with 5 seconds left to go. He probably literally sits there and is like "come on... we can do this". He has a hard time seeing the writing on the wall and just dismisses everyone along the way.
