how long are you allowed to brag about a superbowl victory?

I'd probably brag until my teams chances of winning next years championship were completely gone. Once that time comes the SB victory is officially the past and doesn't really mean anything IMO.

If this is about the saints, as of now they're still the defending champions, which unfortunately means bragging is warranted. If we won we'd be talking the same poo. Annoying as hell to see them revert back to that victory in any argument though, especially on our forum.

Until the next season starts, then everyone is 0-0.

Dreaming. "Defending Superbowl Champion New Orleans Saints" is something you are going to hear a lot of next season.

I say until they don't make the playoffs the following season. And even then everybody wants to beat the champs, good thing is, the Panthers will get to do it twice.

Right. If the Saints don't make the playoffs, or if they get eliminated, etc... then they are no longer "defending" champions, so bragging about it at that time would be kinda silly.

BUT, most Saints fans have heard from our rivals for so long that the Saints will never make a SB, never win a SB, will always be losers, etc.... so my guess is that Panthers and Falcons fans will be hearing a lot of that until they win one. As far as the Bucs go.... well, does anyone really care about the Bucs? they beat the Saints last year, and I still can't take anything their fans say seriously. They are years away from being contenders, but it is cute that their claim to fame is beating the Saints last year. Shows how far the Saints have come.

Eh, I can KIND of see where the Bucs fans are coming from. In 2002 we swept them and beat them up physically when they had maybe one of the NFL's all time great defenses and won the SB. Some idiot Saints fans held on to that as bragging rights like the pathetic Bucs fans are doing now. The funny thing is had Brooks not gotten hurt at the end of the year we could have made some real noise in the playoffs.

      We have seen Bryce get outplayed by all manner of QBs, from UDFAs to second round picks.  If we actually scouted any QBs it would not be a difficult task to upgrade from Bryce, you guys act like he is even decent. He is one of the worst starters league wide stop making excuses.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
