Here’s what I don’t get re Saints ranking predictions

That makes sense, people are still in jilted lover mode with Sean Payton leaving, so its infiltrated their line of thinking.
Same with Carr and Drew Brees. Many want another 1st ballot HOF QB leading the team in a league that likely only has two of those playing right now: Mahommes and Jackson (in my opinion). Dudes like that don't grow on trees.

Most of the Who Dat nation has been so spoiled by the Brees/Payton experience they believe any team that isn't 14-3 or better, #1 seed in the playoffs, and scoring 30+ points a game is absolute crap.
