Definitely. Brees will retire a Saint. The offense will still produce. I'm anxious to see the defense. Im excited about adding Browner and getting Byrd back. I think we got more athletic at linebacker.

I'm highly skeptical that you'll be one of the best teams in the NFC. It's hard for me to believe that, coming off of a 7-8-1 season. Just being real.

I understand that. But the team that started last season and the team that finished last season were completely different. Once Rivera sat Deangelo and was forced to play our rookies, we looked a lot better.. especially in the secondary.

You don't know enough about our team to really know how good we are, and the same goes for us about you paper-bag-wearing buffoons. Just let it play out.

Assuming a rival fan doesn't know enough about your team is ignorant. I know plenty about the Panthers, and about the improvements made towards the end of the year.

At the end of the day, we're a couple of fans 7 win teams hoping that changes made this offseason translate on the field.

I agree. Stewart staying healthy is always a major factor. Dudes an animal. He would have put up some numbers in his career if he could have stayed healthy.

The biggest question mark for me about your team, is all of the rookies that started last year. Naturally, you say they'll all get better, but that's just not how it works. 2 years ago, Vacarro looked like one of the next great safeties in football. Last year, he was nonexistent. Sophomore slumps happen. Young players aren't always what we think they are. Some just don't progress right away. Do Bene and Boston build off of a great start, or take a step back? Same with Norwell and Remmers. Does Oher stay healthy and return to form?

Some questions, but as a whole, I think the division takes a step forward this year. We can only hope so, because last year was atrocious.

The team that finished out the season went 5-1, not 7-8-1 like you are using as your reference. Sure we're rivals but I'm positive you don't watch many more games of ours than the 2 we play against each other. Maybe other divisional games if you're on bye or primetime games, but don't act like you watched the entire 16 games of ours and followed every single player that got meaningful playing time. If you truly do know so much, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how and why we improved towards the end of the year, and discuss our free agency additions and how they may help us next year, and our draft picks.

I just assume Saints fans don't know much of anything. It hasn't failed me yet.

Well, playing the Browns, Bucs, Falcons and Saints to end the year definitely helped, whether you care to admit that or not. The Cardinals were a walking IR team going into the playoffs. But I won't pretend Carolina didn't improve on the field as well.

Going away from the veterans and moving to what seems like more talented rookies helped. Remmers and Norwell stepped in and really held their own on the line, which really struggled early. Pretty much any resistance was an upgrade. Bene coming back from injury and playing as well as he was before his injury was a help for the secondary, as well as Boston taking over a starting spot. Any time you take Thomas Decoud off the field, good things happen. Josh Norman played at a very high level the last half of the season. I don't want to crown him yet, but he looked very good.

The pass rush really picked up towards the end of the season as well. Not sure if that had anything to do with playing teams with horrible olines or not, but it did. I know many are hoping for a bounce back year from Star though. Stewart staying healthy and taking over on offense was a major plus. His numbers were so much better than Williams. Philly Brown getting a little more time on the field as the field stretcher really helped too. Putting some speed out there.

Anyway, I know plenty about the team. I don't watch all 16 games, but I watch around 10, I guess. Couple that with being here every day and reading what all of you maroons ( :D ) are saying and I have a pretty god understanding about the team.

I don't understand?  How would they pressure him to sign with the Saints?

 

"Sign with the Saints or we'll frame your ass for conspiracy to commit murder, and you know we'll get away with it because with football players it's guilty until proven innocent."

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
