Spend on the DLine (especially DE).

Draft the OT, WR and LB.

It's not hypnosis for most of us (well maybe for Guido). It's just an understanding that we're stuck with the status quo. If you ask most folks here if they could swap the owner/GM/HC/QB most would try to upgrade one or more of those positions.

It's just that most of us see this "we have lemons, let's try try to make lemonade" as opposed to you and a few others with "we have lemons, let's complain and starve because it isn't caviar. While looking for that word autocorrect popped up the word caviler which seems to describe you perfectly: a person given to harsh judgments and to finding faults

The league’s new year starts March 13. The restructure essentially means Carr will be with the Saints through the 2025 season. He’ll count as a $35.7 million salary cap hit next season if the Saints don’t scramble to redo the deal and get under the cap. It’s a familiar situation for the perpetually cap-strapped Saints. In his first year as New Orleans’ starter, Carr threw for 3,878 yards and 25 touchdowns along with eight interceptions. He was 17th in adjusted drop back EPA, just ahead of Russell Wilson. Johnson said the Saints “believe [Carr] is the right quarterback to lead the team.”

Source: NOLA.com

The 1st half of the season our O-line was a sieve. Carr was forced to either throw too early, resulting in "hospital" balls or he had to take a sack.

I feel if we fix our O-line then Carr can be that QB that could lead us deep into the playoffs.

But as long as we have a terrible O-line, Carr, as well as any other QB, will fail.

Mission 1 this offseason is O-line.

Nope. Not hypnosis here. I simply know when something is totally outside of my control I choose to make the best of it. Being a Saints fan gives me enjoyment. I'm not going to ruin that feeling by looking for things of which to complain. So I would fall into that vast majority that make up your lemon example, albeit far more vocal than most. Those much smaller numbers on the other end of the spectrum would rather ***** and moan about those things that they have no ability to change. They are far more vocal, I suppose because there's nothing else they can do, and never accept the reality that there is nothing they can say or do that can change anything.

Bingo!

I feel the problem was that the offensive line falls under the control of the offensive coordinator and that same person ended up showing certain leadership shortcomings. Yes, as HC Allen was ultimately responsible, but given the fact that he runs the defense he needs an OC that can handle more control on that other side. I'm hoping that Kubiak can be that man and brings in what help he needs.

As a long time Saints Fan, I am entitled to vent my harsh judgments and fault finding in a Saints Forum. Y’all are entitled to sit with the same basket of lemons, and make as much lemonade as you wish. I prefer to demand caviar from a multimillion dollar enterprise. Or at least, a nice slice of NY Pizza. I’m talking and venting about a professional football team. You’re talking about me.
That’s the only difference between us.

I would post an image of a cow sh*tting into your smiling mouth, but It would require almost as much effort as our Saints putting a winning team on the field next season, which AINT gonna happen.

This response is one of those "somethings" "you simply know is totally outside of your control."
Show Us It's True "you accept the REALITY that there is nothing YOU can say or do that can change anything"
