It's not ideal, but they should be able to win 8 or 9 games with Payton now at the helm and get back to building a winning culture.
Man when Andy got hired he was set.
Young guys in Jamaal Charles, Justin Houston, Dontari Poe, Rodney Hudson, Allen Bailey and Eric Berry. Add some vets in Dwayne Bowe, Brandon Flowers, DJ, Tamba.
And he had all his draft picks and cash.
Just the complete opposite of what Sean Payton is taking over [Reply]
Dude, I love you bud, but this is the epitome of cognitive dissonance

Payton loves the trenches. 4 of the 5 starting OL in New Orleans were drafted by Sean Payton with top 50 draft picks, so it’s no surprise he went after 2 OL early. You look at who he’s drafted at tackle, Ramczyk and Peat, both tall, long athletic tackles like what Andy likes. McGlinchey was the only one available like them after we got Taylor, so no surprise.
I think Sean is gonna draft a QB in a year or 2 while he has a vet QB (Russ) to make them a 9-10 win team in the short term.

How can it look "just like" what Andy did, and how can it be successful, when it's admittedly a completely different situation that he's taking over? [Reply]

You answered your own question bud.
“Why would a new coach that’s taking over a dumpster fire of a roster and has money to spend try to make the roster better by signing FA’s?”
So you expect them to wave the white flag and quit to try to tank for Caleb Williams? You think that’s gonna fly with an ownership that fired a coach in less than a season?
And yeah that roster isn’t as good as the one Andy took over (duh) but it doesn’t mean the philosophy isn’t the same with a struggling QB [Reply]

Spending a shit ton of money on this FA class is a huge waste of money. You don't HAVE to use all your cap space ya know? Maybe roll a lot over, so you can be players when there are actually blue chippers in the pool? [Reply]
You can't underestimate how entitled that fan base is and being so bad for 7 years, and having made huge misses on both HC and QB last year. They can't use the word rebuild or talk future. [Reply]
Per @PFF data, Zach Allen ranked 5th last year among 68 interior D-linemen with at least 250 pass-rush snaps in hit + sack rate, getting to the QB once every 20.6 snaps last year. In that same metric, Dre’Mont Jones was 33rd.https://t.co/IHBh93f6Ao
Chiefs just signed their version of Zach Allen who is just as good. Veach got him for $8 million APY + incentives while General Pay-a-ton! is paying $15 million for Allen :-) [Reply]

I'm not sure anyone would claim that the donx are doing well this offseason. For example, this clown doesn't come close to erasing the loss of Jones. [Reply]
