ARE YOU KIDDIN ME?!?!?” And I’m looking at yet another precious year of my life, waiting to see if some unspectacular pieces might somehow fall into place, so that we might make .500 and keep those unspectacular pieces around a bit longer, to ride out a “rebuild” phase that feels like watching paint dry, or more accurately, black and gold paint peeling off the wall.

You keep asking me questions, when you know I’m only going to complain until THEY speculate on how to fix their own (mis) management. So you’re laying down a troll-chow banquet for me to feast on, and then complaining about me complaining. Gonna be a lonnnnnnnnng season bro. WHODAT!!!

I understand that you're going to complain no matter what I say or do. I also know that the Saints brass is 1) not going to do anything during the season and 2) Not publicly discuss any changes they plan to make until they actually do it. So, because of both of these, there is exactly zero chance that we'll hear anything from the Saints about any changes until two or more weeks after the season is over.

Fans speculate about stuff all the time. What players they may get. What record the team may have.

But just as you've done is this post you're pointing out the problems. So, you must have some idea about how to go about turning the ship around. It cost absolutely nothing. And the Saints are not going to listen to any of us anyway. You call Allen a limp-d*ck (real surprised that the bad word filter didn't filter this one). So, who out there isn't. Who is a coach that you admire? Would you take CSP if he were willing to come back?

Just because you're a fan doesn't mean that you don't have a brain. You must have thoughts about how the Saints can get back into the winners circle. All I'm asking is for you to share your thoughts on it.

Even go back to the decline that you saw. How could the Saints have mitigated that at the time? Should the Saints have drafted/traded for a legit successor while Brees was still here? I think many of us thought that the Saints were still in a championship window and that spending resources for Brees' replacement when the team still had a chance to win another SB with Brees may have been premature. In hindsight that may have been shortsighted.

We have 4-6 years of a track record now. Other than the obvious (Mahommes) who else would have panned out for the team?

As for Allen, you definitely think it was a poor choice. Who should they have choosen instead. Did the Saints even get that person in the building at the time? Who would you choose now?

I just don't understand why you don't want to talk about any of this. These are questions that have to be answered to make the changes that you are looking for. Since this is going to be such a long season for you, why not talk about what the Saints could do moving forward to get back to winners circle? I don't think that's troll fodder.
