Re: What should the Saints’ plan be to upgrade at QB?
Know why I’m not getting caught up in the ‘what could we get for Sean’ discussion? Because everything that I have seen for the last 2-3 years tells me that one one playbook exists presently and it was written by Sean Payton for Drew/Taysom combo. Otherwise 2022 would have been the perfect opportunity to open it. I saw no greater development out of any of the QBs on our roster, so it’s probably safe to assume Sean was the man behind that as well.
There is a reason that Pete is the longest tenured OC in the league. No one college or professional team is interested enough to make an honest poaching run at him. 15 years at OC. Just for grins, say we get the magical #1 draft pick for Sean.. It doesn’t matter whether you pick a new QB or trade it for a dozen other picks. They all land in a tired system schemed for someone else run by coaches that can not make adjustments. As far as optimism goes.. I’m rather pragmatic and find it easier to handle the inevitable low if I haven’t rationalized a high leading up to it. I’ll get excited when someone in the organization does something to change its present path. Anything really…. Get a new water boy… just stop only showing up to collect a check. ![]() |

The fact that zero changes were made to the offense, when it was easy to tell early on they were letting this team down. Notice how Paulson Adebo was seemingly having "the best training camp" and then the minute the season starts, every team abuses him. PC is no offensive coordinator, he's an assistant with schematics. |

The question then rears its ugly head, why then was DA indeed chosen as HC under the guise of "continuity"? A little voice in my head, albeit possibly wrong, whispers to me a deal was struck, a secret deal if you will, with SP and Loomis for this very scenario which is unfolding before our very eyes. We may never know... Or will we? | |

Now that Allens a HC for a 2nd time it's like rinse and repeat, he's not HC material and without Payton I have high doubts he's all that good of a DC. I just can't bite on this guy being as good as some ppl think he is. I told my wife when we played the Lions yrs. back Allen was going to blow that game, he threw everyone at Stafford and Stafford hit the long ball beating us. He's a lousy gambler, the kind that hits occasionally but never is going to win in the long run. Benson bought a turd in Allen

Possible scenarios: - A $3.5BN franchise had a succession plan, and like most succession plans, a logical name is put in a box. DA has head coaching experience. It’s a common exercise organizations use to show upward mobility. They rarely auto promote the guy in the box. - The likely scenario. Sean is still under contract and the franchise wanted to leave the door open in the slim chance that he wanted to come back. DA takes the clipboard for a year. The result of both is the same and it’s likely a combination of the two and where we are. Remember DA was not given a new contract. The outcome was spun as continuity and some bit hard. It was damage control. Now, what has not come up and I suspect it will, is that Dennis Allen being appointed as Saints head coach is a complete circumvention of the Roony Rule. Loomis announcing that Dennis Allen would be HC in 2023 shines a spotlight on the fact that there were never any interviews for Saints HC, much less minority interviews. The big question becomes, did Loomis announce that to kill the speculation or shine a light as a tool to get rid of DA? Stay tuned for more episodes of ‘How Dat Fleur-de-Lis Spin’. ![]() |

If you want to know Ts&Cs read a contract, if you want to understand intent and strategy you have to stare into the negative space and figure out what isn't there. In this case there is zero commitment or follow through. My best guess is that Dennis Allen is not under new contract for multiple reasons that do not speak well for the quality of DA's head coaching abilities. On paper he was appointed interim-HC for the last year of his 2019 contract. If he is contracted as the new HC, without interviews, this will blow up just as the Frank Reich appointment is in North Carolina right now. 1. The door is left open for a Sean Payton return. 2. Loomis is unsure and wants to see if the market thinks Dennis Allen has any talent. Contractually, Dennis Allen is not the Head Coach of any team presently. There is always the possibility that Loomis's evil plot involves forcing the team that wants Sean Payton to take Dennis Allen as part of the package ![]() A lack of contract details for DA has nothing to do with agents or withheld information, that notion is absurd lol... Agents want it out there as evidence of their negotiation abilities because it is free advertising to get new clients. Owners want it out there as evidence of commitment to attract future talent. Case and point being that the most secretive person in the NFL has his contract details out in the open, Bill Belichick. |
