The longest offseason

This sure as heck feels like it.

Honestly, if the team continues to acquire talent and improve, future years will probably seem even longer.

But looking at the big picture, I'll take that.

It has definitely felt that way for me. I took an extended break from the Huddle to clear away some of the insanity that comes along with it during the regular season... Almost a cleanse, lol. I'm ready to get back into the Huddle and back into football.

I remember feeling that way every off season. 

Now that I have less time in my life overall, the off season flies by. 

I have a new coworker that I have quickly befriended, and he's a Saint's fan. I told him today that he's the on Saint fan I've ever liked, so he better not waste the friendship!! LOL

 

I'm still more than ready for football, but that's  how I am, regardless of the time of year.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
