That's why it is commonly said, especially among GM's and coaches, that the NFL is a 100% injury league. They know every player will at some point miss time due to injury. A few unreasonable fans are the only ones who get pi$$ed at players because of injuries. One would think most fans are knowledgeable enough to know better.
One would think that it would be unreasonable to expect the injury that is our current Head Coach and Raiders throwaway QB to ever carry us into the “PLAYOFFS?!?!” But here we aren’t.

There is no coincidence that most of the playoff participants are younger than the Saints. Packers, Cowboys, BUCS, Detroit, Eagles, Niners, Ravens.

It’s a young man’s game … Unless you enjoy missing post season.
You're right K. It's a young mans game and we aren't a young team. That's mostly because of poor decisions on draft day. We trade draft picks like discards in poker on draft day to move up for a project player that takes time to develop and are left relying on late draft picks and UDFA's to fill out our backup positions.

If it wasn't for the Sean Payton trade we wouldn't have had any ammo to work with on draft day last year. We trade away too many midround picks that don't we don't get to develop and it costs us big money in free agency because we have so many holes to fill because of poor drafting.

Either that or we flat out take the wrong player on the big board when there are better players available that get picked later and play better than our draft picks.

Re: 2024 Saints Off-Season General News and Discussion

Zach Baun could very well be back next year. I can't believe that they wasted him for 3 1/2 years before playing him to his strengths. Now we will probably re-sign him and be stuck with a Sam linebacker that can't cover. I hope we find his replacement this offseason who can also get after the QB.

How many snaps a season do we even have a Sam on the field? It seems like nine times out of ten we have a DB covering the man the Sam would usually be taking.

Re: Official 2024 Free Agency Discussion

Was looking at Niners OL Joe Feliciano PFF grades.

His pressures to sack ratio was 15/2. Not to mention he got a lot of work due to injuries across that entire Niners line.

2 year @ 7M deal would be ideal. Wouldn’t break the bank & is an upgrade over James Hurst.

By the way our LOWEST rated (per PFF) olineman in 2023 was Cesar Ruiz at 51.2. That’s 63/79 of guards in the league.

McKoy was ranked best @ 79.4

Free agency could be where they add new players on that Oline.
