Running Back is the easiest problem to solve. There’s so many great options out there. We could easily return to the RB by committee formula that brought us success back in the day.

Peat has been a problem. I see both rookies and vets that could stabilize that position for less money than he makes.

I don’t see an issue at WR if we’re reworking MT. I’m not declaring him dead like most of the other contributors.

We could definitely afford to upgrade at TE, but Juwan Johnson continues to make improvements every year.

Backup QB is an easy fix as well. Dalton. Teddy B. Rookie. It’s a lot options.

Excellent post rez! I’ll add another reason I am optimistic. The 2 teams that faced off in the NFCCG last year were the niners and eagles. As we all know we beat the eagles and gave the niners all they wanted and would have won with out Kamara and Olave fumbles. Point is, NO ONE else in the NFC is head and shoulders above the rest of the league.

For good or bad I should be more active here as the season moves along. I wanted to check in once Carr was signed to get people’s thoughts.

Guido is gonna Guido. You either feel like putting up with him or you don’t. And yes, he gets seen by those that want to ignore him because he inevitably posts a lot. Lord knows we don’t always see eye to eye, but I don’t always disagree with his football takes and It’s like having a coworker you don’t really enjoy. You still are working for the same company you hope does well, so you deal with it best you can. His posting so much does turn up a nugget here and there. He was also nice enough to send me a message checking on me while I was doing my “aaron Rodgers darkroom” time away. Thanks for that Guido.

You are welcome, Boston.

Glad you are well sir. The real world is a monster.

Looking forward to more of your posts.

The Saints need a better backup QB than Andy Dalton.

Andy is probably a great guy but he can't lead an offense.

Draft a QB or explore other options.

I'd volunteer to hold a clipboard... But somehow don't think DA would know what do to do with my skill set.

Not unless your skillset is similar to that of Carr. Then again, given the fact that Carr has only missed four games in his entire career with one being the final game in 2016 after clinching the bye and two others when sat at the end of this past season to not endanger his trade value through injury, you may very well be all we need at backup, Smash.

Guido reminds me of my old college roommate. He was an accountant who had a dry personality and was only interested in facts and pertinent information. He was also the only guy that ever asked if he could date my ex girl friend before he asked her out and I respected that.
