Tanking 2023 Season
 
Should the Saints tank the season for a super high draft pick in 2024?

Will they need to since DA is still in charge?

Does the weakest division in football negate that possibility?

None of the four teams have an established starting caliber QB.

I hate tanking. Then you get good young talent with a bad culture. That s**t follows you around.

There's not a coach or player that gives a crap about draft picks to the point of tanking. That subject has been clarified ad nauseum.

I believe some are putting far too much blame on Allen for a seven win season. I would be very surprised if we didn't exceed that total this coming season.

And, yes, that weak division gives us an excellent chance at winning the division, as does our third place schedule.

And, yes, QB will be vital to that success. I can't wait until free agency gets underway. Or do we run a healthy Winston out there and beef up other positions through free agency?

Yup. That's why tanking doesn't work.

Smash, don't worry about this. As long as Allen is the HC we should be in the top 6 on a 1st rounder next season.
That is unless that idiot Loomy does a 2fer deal again this year.

Allen stays, Carmichael stays, Ryan Nielsen leaves for Atlanta, no relevant firings after a dismal 7-10 regular season ...
losing to Carolina should have been the end of Dennis Allen's tenure (currently has the WORST winning % of any coach in the NFC south) as head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

And oh, we have no starting caliber QB on the roster.

Be prepared to run it back, "keep doing what you're doing" this season.

Lol, you won't have to "tank". 2023 is going to be rough folks.

Never.
Never EVER.

Also, this will likely be the last year for a few studs who gave all they had during their tenure with the Saints. I'd hate to see Cam and DeMario go out like that.

Raiders fixing to cut QB Carr, reportedly. Is he worth bringing in, or do we stick with Winston and a rookie?

My guess is that Dennis Allen brings in a veteran quarterback to try and save his job. If he brings in a rookie and has another seven and nine season the front office may have a reason to hold on to him and see if that quarterback develops. It would be unfortunate because that would be another year with Dennis Allen calling the shots. He is much too passive to lead men.

Don’t worry about tanking. It’ll happen naturally because we’re gonna suck!!!
