How many years did keeping Allen and signing Carr set back the team?

I'm talking about the Saints!! They mentioned the Patriots and the Patriots Way numerous times over the years as their inspiration. I darn sure do know what I'm talking about. Apparently you don't!

So mister communication expert, here is you in your own words.....

Once they started winning consistently and won the Super Bowl, then it became the "we know more and better than you" so we will take chances on these players HOPING they would get lucky and get the next great dominating player. The Patriots were very successful with that ploy.

No mention of the Saints above, just the last line about the Patriots, how in the world am I supposed to infer that you are talking about the Saints here?
