If I’m Tepper I’m telling Rivera he better tank that last Saints game in December

Jesus H Christ it will literally be a repeat of last year, neither us or the Saints will have anything to play for and of course Rivera will screw our draft position yet again by winning. If I’m Tepper, I’m stopping that poo in its tracks.

Im calling Rivera in my office and saying “look you little c%#ksucker, you’re not fugging this organization again with your routine meaningless win to knock us back multiple spots in the draft, practice will be light and you will be playing 2nd and 3rd stringers, hell, you can have a full starting lineup of practice squad players for all I care, but you’re throwing this one.”

Good lord PU.


If I am Tepper and the season continues on its current track I hope he is telling Rivera he is fired not telling him to tank games. Not that Tepper needs to tell Rivera how to tank, he is already good at that. And it may be a lot sooner than the last NO game too.

I never believe in “intentional tanking”. That’s a losers mentality and I doubt grown professional men would elect to tank when their jobs are on the line too. Just play it out. Getting a top ten pick doesn’t guarantee we will draft a stud . Just play to win and let the chips fall as they may

I agree with this in the NFL, because I think fans overemphasize the value of top ten picks vs rest of the draft, but in the NBA, since only one round of the draft matters and your top 3 players are 70% of how good you are, tanking for draft position is just the reality of how you avoid being perpetually stuck in the middle.

Exhibit A: Charlotte Hornets

In all honesty, there is 0 point in going 8-8, or 9-7 neither of which I think is realistic (we are 5-5, and have NO 2x, and ATL at their home)

Add in -- WAS (winnable), SEA & IND

I could see us finishing 6-10 / 7-9 based on the games we have left, I'm not saying tank, I'm saying we can't score enough to finish over .500

      Might as well declare this front office regime dead if that's the case.  There is no reason that should happen.

      Well unfortunately nothing to us. But he has been giving to the rest of the league. He's been so bad he was getting opposing defenders all kinds of accolades and salary increases. Now though he's taking back. You can't lose to a Bryce Young led offense and not expect swift ramifications ya know?

      Updated 2025 draft order

      Full disclosure I responded to this before fully reading the whole post. As if I had, I’d have laughed at you saying you haven’t seen a full route tree from him, as that’s EXACTLY what he has in his bag.  That right there just shows you haven’t watched him at all outside of the downfield highlight reel plays.  He already runs a full NFL level route tree, at all 3 levels.  As I’ve said numerous times before, XL is the big bodied possession guy, while T-Mac would be the true outside #1 who can do it all and a perfect compliment to XL.   Want to draft someone else all you want, that’s totally fair.  But don’t try and say he’s just a big bodied WR who lacks quickness and can’t run a full route tree, as it’s just the furthest thing from the truth.     And it’s okay, after you watch some more clips, you can admit that you were wrong and I’m not showing my own bias towards him.  It’s not like I’m advocating for someone who should be a late 1st rounder or even a mid 1st round pick, this is someone who’s been mocked as high as #2 by a lot of experts lately. The kid is a stud and he has every tool in his bag that you’d want an outside #1 to have.
