When was the last time TW played a full season of football?

I’d pass.

They are supporting it in record numbers because it is still the most entertaining sport to follow and watch in the world. The star power is one of the major reasons why it is so successful. The league knows this and knows that injuries to those stars could hurt the brand. Thus all of the moves to make the game safer.

Butkus would have thrived and made 50 times what he made when he played back in the '60s and early '70s. He would have likely been able to double the length of his career had he played today.

The loser doesn't get humor, Rugs. Sad life. :D

Re: 2024 Saints Off-Season General News and Discussion
 

I get “humor”. Humor is watching you puff too much ayahuasca before your Xanax wears off, and predicting that we would win the Super Bowl for the past two seasons. I also get “pathetic”, which is watching a grown ass man take the time to play with Marsha Brady gifs, to try to prove a point to someone he has set to “IGNORE”.

There will be much more humor and pathetic next season. I am sure.

I am not convinced that Pete Carmichael was the main problem at all. He was effective under Payton, but not under Allen. I think it was smart to make a change and I am guardedly optimistic for a degree of improvement but I am not sure it will solve all our problems. It could be that a lot of offensive coordinators are not effective under weak head coaches like Dennis Allen who fail to establish leadership and accountability from the start and weak general managers who put us in a position that we can't afford to cut dead weight without years of extensions to wind down their dead cap hits.

It's possible that Dennis Allen and Mickey Loomis without Sean Payton could make Tom Brady look like Marsha Brady.

Klink Kubiak could not save Russell Wilson and the Broncos offense under a weak head coach in Nathaniel Hackett in Denver in 2022. We was effective under stronger head coaches in SF and Minnesota with better QBs. Now he has to work with Dennis Allen and Derek Carr. After 2023, any change is better than none, but it just wouldn't be that surprising to me if Carr and the Saints offense struggle in 2024 exactly how they did in 2023.

If by should we, you mean sign him, no.

If by should we, you mean cut/trade fellow 2017 1st round pick former pro bowl now injury ridden CB Marshon Lattimore in a parallel move to the Bills releasing his draft twin White, then yes. Neither is worth the ~$20 million salary they are slated to earn and even if the dead cap to cut or trade or is hard to stomach in the first year, in the long term its the right thing to do in order to avoid overpaying year after year and kicking the can.

Although actually, if we really insist on having veteran CB who will probably get injured paired with Taylor and Adebo, it might be more financially responsible to trade or cut Lattimore and his ~$20 million compensation, eat the dead cap hit, and sign White for $5 million on a year to year basis.
