{2023 Thread Bumped} Underhill Giving No Quarter to Nick Wright

Last four seasons. 13-3, 12-4, 9-8, 7-10. No playoffs since 12-4. I think it's fair to call that regression.

Injuries matter. The deeper teams can handle it better than the ones who can't. Personnel matters all the way through 53 and beyond.
Jmo but the drop-off has had more to do with Brees retiring, MT being MIA and of course with last season Payton leaving. So I'd argue that has more to do with change of leadership than change in talent, although there's some of both.

I really don't think the salary cap and how it's been managed has all that much to do with it.
