Bad GMs? Bad front office? From the outside looking in I see you guys 3 to 5 years of rebuilding, IF everything goes right! Why do I give that time-line? Well look when Sean Payton came to the Saints. 4 out 6 years in the playoffs. Not counting this year, 2 trips to the NFCC Game 1 Superbowl ring, Yeah it takes time, but look at the Saints now. Who wants to play them in the playoffs? WHO DAT TWO DAT

You don't find much love for Rick S. though, seems like a hasty, ill thought out cop out. I understand. When the Saints first started to climb out of the abyss, they hired Jim Finks as GM. Unfortunately his untimely passing was another set back. So as I stated earlier, I understand where you guys are at and what journey is ahead. I wish you guys the best and hope the Vikings return to former GLORY!. HEHEHEH We have unfinished business and I want the Vikes to be on top when we collect. WHO DAT TWO DAT
