Jon Stinchcomb to Saints fans: Adjust your expectations

RJ in Lafayette said

The problem is the loss of key players in free agency and the overall loss of talent. Yet the decline in wins this year will be attributed to the retirement of Brees. The Drew Brees of 2020 was two levels below the Drew Brees of 2009 and 2011 and a level below the Drew Brees of 2017.

Don't think that applies. The only actual loss right now looks to be Sanders. The defense looked ridiculous, and they did it without Demario Davis and Cam Jordan. Turner and Werner also sat out. The glaring issues were extremely subpar QB play, all three RBs having butterfingers, and the only WR to show up was Callaway. If Callaway shows out then that will make the Sanders loss negligible, leaving the only real change on the team being QB.
