I know what went wrong. Sean Payton left and the New Orleans Saints then put Dennis Allen in charge.

The way its stored is such that whenever a star underperforms, we can never cut them, because the cap hit is always $20 million or more, and then in a couple years when its supposed to be the affordable year to finally part ways, the cap hit is still $20 million or more because the contract has been restructured twice in two years.

I get that the money is tangible. If it wasn’t tangible, Andrus Peat could not buy $15 million a year of twinkies and little debbie with it. I get thats its stores in easily convertible structures, much of it in lipids in Peats stomach. I get that its easily convertible, we can convert Michael Thomas to any position and he will be just as effective at long snapper or defensive tackle because he won’t see the fiekd there either. But the one conversion we cant do is converting cutting expensive players like Thomas into cap savings in the near term, because we are carrying bentley loans on pinto players with this wonderful system dreamed up by an ego mad accountant with no football iq.

I think a multitude of issues hurt us this year.
1. Injuries being #1
2. QB suckage....whether due to injuries or poor performances (inconsistencies) whathaveyou.
3. Lack of running game
4. Continued suckage/consistency at TE
5. D line inconsistencies
6. See #1 as affecting 1-5

Good question. Do ask Pete, Alvin. We'd all like to know.
