Unless your definition of mediocre is “any team that doesn’t win the SB,” we were definitely not stuck in mediocre since we won the SB. We had many double-digit win seasons and playoff wins.

Brees carried the team in spite of SP. SP did not add value. Did the team fold when he was suspended? No. Did the team look much worse when Brees retired? Yes.
