I didn’t make the Saints lose. I didn’t make Derek Carr suck. I didn’t make our defense and core old. I didnt make always trading up deplete depth. I didn’t make Dennis Allen a life long loser. I didn’t make Klint Kubiak not be the second coming of jesus christ.

I didn’t launch the proverbial turd into the punch bowl. I just pointed out it was there. You drank the punch anyway, and said it was great.

With one or two more signings like Asante Adams we might surprise a lot of people and win 7 or 8 games. It would take us out of the top ten picks next year but it would be a good strong core of young players to build around.

How would blowing our salary cap on older players in order to get about 7 wins and 3rd place while moving back in the draft give us a better core of young players to build around? I would rather give our young players more opportunities, have higher picks, and have more cap space to keep our young players if they merit a second contract. While our team may seem young relative to the hospice crew we trotted out last year, we still have a ways to go to get young and hungry relative to the rest of the league, and we wont get there by signing aging vets to win 7 games that real contenders are unloading because they are on the downside of their careers. That is what the Atlanta Falcons did last offseason, and you won’t get anywhere emulating that sorry excuse for a franchise that has never won anything.
