It's amazing how fan confidence in the Saints has eroded so quickly since the glory years of Sean Payton & Drew Brees. Saturday our news department got dozens of fans reacting to the Derek Carr retirement news. This one basically sums up the feelings of the Who Dat Nation.

The last time #Saints selected a QB in the 1st round of the #NFL draft...1971 when they picked Archie Manning out of Ole Miss. 54 years later could the Black & Gold add another Ole Miss QB in the 1st round? 🤨 🙋‍♂️ I asked Jaxson Dart at Panini Senior Bowl about the Saints legend.

Cam Jordan Cam Jordan talking about his future in New Orleans. One of the greatest Saints all time... IMO it's a no-brainer for the organization, No. 94 needs to be back in Black & Gold for a 16th season in 2026.

Atlanta is developing ‘Centennial Yards’ in their downtown area - google it! New Orleans Pelicans and state leaders need to think bigger than just a Smoothie King Center renovation. The entire campus and area around the arena and Superdome needs to be enhanced.

I asked Taysom Hill if he took an extra moment leaving the Superdome field after the Jets game. Hill is one of the most unique players in franchise history but can become a free agent in 2026. The fan favorite was emotional talking about Sunday's final home game of 2025.

Dennis Allen apologized to #DirtyBirds after game Sunday. Says he told #Saints players to go into "victory formation" and take a knee, but players decided they wanted to get RB Jamaal Williams a TD. Atlanta HC Arthur Smith cursing DA after the game as they met at midfield.

So the Popeyes in Milan didn’t serve biscuits, red beans and rice or dirty rice 😳😳😳 But Milan does have street cars built around the same time as the ones in New Orleans that look and feel similar to NOLA. Public transportation in Milan 🤌 Metro, busses, street cars 👍👍👍

Am I confused or are #Saints confusing operation right now? NOLA started: Carr QB1, Haener backup, Rattler #3 Carr injured, Rattler jumps Haener to start Carr returns, Haener back to #2, Rattler #3 Why isn't Rattler #2 now? Or why not start Jake when Carr originally hurt? 🤷‍♂️
