Rebuild?

jonnyrotten · 12-03-2007, 12:06 PM

I am so tired of hearing people say that the saints are rebuilding or are in year two of a rebuild. There is no such thing anymore, each year we see teams from the bottom come to the top and vice versa. With free agency the way it is, teams can look completely different from one year to the next. Sorry folks, this IS NOT a rebuilding year, and we look like the saints of old again. Last year was a fluke it seems, although I wish it wasn't so.

'07 Draft choices have not made impact, shoot, they haven't even made the field. If we were rebuilding, they would be playing.

You're right. It was not supposed to be a rebuilding year.

It should have been, though.

Sometime you just kill me! ROFLMAO. We have enough GM's on this site already. LOL. Although there is some truth in what he said. You do see teams go from the bottom to the top. It happens, just not to us.

Man, I like this little fat guy,he reminds me of....................me! LOL

The media lead you guys down that path and you all ate up hook, line and sinker.
Come on we flipped the roster by 60% last year and added more than a handful of new faces. The offense is young and the defense is just to old. The offense is close to clicking and a couple of pieces should do it. So the statement about FA does apply more next year than this.
The defense is due for a major youth movement also. We are all hoping it starts next year. But that will take time to do and will take time playing together till they click. It is always that way and always will be.

THe offense is the exact same as last year minus joe horn. yeah we lost deuce but that was in week 3 and the offense stank it up before that. I agree completely that the defense needs a youth movement but that was the GM's decision to draft a WR round one, the coach deciding not to play Usama more, etc. Bottom line still remains, every year is a year to win the SuperBowl. Do you start the year saying okay, we are not trying to win the superbowl cause we are rebuilding? No. In fact, i would wonder what the actual average is for NFL team turnover, my guess is it is pretty high each year. Heck, look at new england this year, that attacked in FA and do their players need a few years to gel? exactly.

I think they need to fire Gibbs and get a D-coordinator that can blitz more than once a game

Yes,Yes,Yes, absolutly! Send him home with his tail between his legs. I really don't see how he got a defensive co-ordinators job. He'd be great on the back of a trash truck. If they'd fire him I have a friend who'll give him a job on one of his trash trucks
