Translation: coulda woulda shoulda… didn’t. And here we aren’t.

With the Saints' and SP's history of trading up, they didn't bother to make this kind of offer. That's the point of the hypocrisy of SP's utterances.

Maybe we should ask what the Whole Foods Meat Guy has to say since he might have been SP's sounding board once or twice.

When Goodell forced Payton out for a year the Saints put Spagnuolo in at head coach and from then on it was a circus. That whole bounty debacle screwed the Saints for many years.

Who's to say they didn't try to move up? Then again, they were only one pick away. Nobody expected KC to come out of nowhere to jump up 17 spots. I could just see the anger of the fans if Payton had mortgaged the farm to move up one spot for a QB that wasn't projected to be anything special.

Honestly, it was simply a good move by Reid and company that could not have been prevented by anyone other than a mind-reading, future-seeing mystic.

Who’s to say that they didn’t try to win more games with “all the right people in the building”? Who’s to say that they haven’t tried to ensure that they have a winning season next year? Who’s to say that we are expected to accept barely being mediocre and continuing to $uck @ss a little les than a few other teams?

WE DAT.

We gotta quit pining over Mahomes as a missed opportunity. I'm not convinced Payton or the Saints org would've handled Patrick as well as Reid and the Chiefs have. The only quality QB the Saints have ever developed in 55 years to any degree at all was Delhomme.

We can only use SP's history in previous drafts to surmise anything. And historically, SP was aggressive in pursuing even marginal oft injured college talent, no matter the position of need. Many of those have worked out... and many of those have failed as well, or the Saints weren't patient enough. Although in this day of ridiculously high salaries, can a team really afford to hold players' hand for three years before the produce? It took Ingram (cost of 2 number 1s) 3 full seasons before the light came on, and Karama and a go right away.

Fair point ... water under the bridge.

We will be pining plenty next season.

...made more salty by SP's own rhetoric and his moves to GTFOH.

Let’s see what happens with my prediction… MAHOMES is more important than Saylor Twift.
