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.

Can definitely see all this happening.

I remain optimistic about it all. It is only March

Good points Rez. Peat is our weak link on the O-line and was a terrible contract but he was the best available at the time when we had to solidify

the position.

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.

Carr.... now Ugo Amadi....

kinda looking like the Saints want to play football next year.

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.

I mean the progress should be Thomas accepting a pay cut. Why now Carr is here, would Thomas magically get healthy after being out for nearly 3 seasons?
