We have to draft O line to protect whoever is under center. We just drafted Haener. Let's see what he has to offer. He won't see any playing time this year unless it's a blowout in Atlanta and I don't see that happening.

Haeners' had a year to get ready and training camp should be fun to watch him sling it around next year. There's always next year Saints fans!

I don't see a scenario where Haener would even be active against Atlanta.

Yeah, me either. If DA was getting fired the front office might want to see what the boys got.....but, alas.....we'll keep doing what we're doing. Which, is struggling to break even with DA leading us for another crappy season in 2024.

I know that this will bring the ire of a few posters here but Derek Carr really isn't the Saints biggest problem right now and he's likely better than Winston and Haener. In the next draft the Saints should focus on building from the ground up, so to speak. Work on both lines (especially the O-line) and go from there. I'd even get an LB or RB before thinking about drafting a QB.

Carr's numbers aren't bad -- I know he's got situational awareness issues-- but I think that the Saints can work with him going forward. That and they're married to his contract for a while as well.

Amen.

At this point, we have to be realistic and assess the situation based on the way this organization runs. I’m pretty sure Carr will be the QB and Allen will be the coach. Saints have the 13th ranked defense which will save Allen his job, and I’ve started seeing more and more Saints fan make the same excuses for Carr that Raiders fans did for those 9 years of mediocrity. They’re going to run it back and we’ll have to pray for the best. I’m not sure who the offensive coordinator will be, but Ken Dorsey fits the mold of someone I believe Mickey Loomis would like.

Any optimism I had about this organization is currently running close to empty. I see Carr as nothing more than an expensive band aid trying to cover up multiple bullet wounds. I don’t think he’s better than Jameis Winston at anything other than protecting the ball. Andy Dalton could have given us 21 TD’s and 8 picks on a season for a whole lot cheaper, but Carr and his contract is here to stay.

This rebuild is going to be messy, and if we aren’t strategic and lucky, very long. Depending on what we do going forward, we could have $96 million in cap space going into 2026. That’s the Arch Manning year. Sounds like a story the NFL script writers might be interested in. Arch comes home to New Orleans to redeem his grandfathers team.
