As much as I like Kikaha I'm afraid the ACL injuries (3) are going to doom
him in the NFL.

Agreed, coming back from 2 ACL tears and having a great season in college is one thing, now another injury along, how is he going to respond.

We sure do love injury prone players.

I guess it all depends on who you replace those subpar coaches with... it could end up being a lateral move or even a downgrade.

Not saying it will, but just hiring new coaches doesn't mean a thing if the culture doesn't change along with the personnel.

I guess 7th isn't bad. Someone give us a cookie.

Last 3 years we sucked. Bottom line SP has to find a way to break through this funk. Don't waste another year of Drew.

The top 6 teams draft well year in and year out. I'll go out on a limb and guess each teams' dead money is bottom half of the league also.

Well, now that you mention it, that limb would break ...

2016 top dead money list (playoff teams in bold)

1. Saints $42,117,529
2. Browns $34,769,318
3. Falcons $25,515,681
4. Lions $24,640,869
5. Eagles $23,450,018
6. Rams $21,289,406
7. Bills $18,545,345
8. Titans $18,025,957
9. Colts $17,134,153
10. Dolphins $16,872,639
12. Patriots $16,653,725
16. Giants $14,597,316

So, five of the playoff teams were in the upper half of dead money in 2016, including the Falcons at #3 and the Lions at #4. And how about those annually successful Patriots at #12?

And, in addition, the Saints 2017 dead money figure will be right at $9 million.

I think a downgrade is impossible. I would suggest you wait and see. Much less stressful. And think positive thoughts. It helps, especially when it is something that you have no control over whatsoever.

Well, it's not like I have a choice in the matter

I often wonder if anyone from the New Orleans Saints franchise ever looks
at any of the forums. There are a lot of smart people on this board who know
this team and players and also prospective players.
