I simply don't see but a single scenario where the Saints would be out of contention this season, especially in the NFC South. That would be if Carr suffers a season ending injury. In that case it would have been one of the young guys that couldn't keep us in the running. I could see a move from Carr after the season if for some reason we do not make the playoffs. Not because that move would mean a better QB in 2025, but more for cap related reasons. It would be that "rebuild" which I dislike by fielding an inferior team hoping (wishing, dreaming, etc.) that something better could come in the future.

You’re consistently hoping (wishing, dreaming, etc.) that something better could come in the future anyway. You have said that it might take a couple of decades. The sooner we move new chess pieces into position, the better.

If we come away with an LOSS, are you prepared to face and admit the fact that (all excuses about “rebuilding” and adjustments needing to be made in the Pre-Season aside), we are less prepared to WIN than the Cardinals? Let’s start here.
