ESPN Analytics grades New Orleans Saints off-season with a lowly D

Owner, front office, coach and QB are the four most important things a team can have. This team gets no higher than a D in any of those categories,

Owner: "C-" - Gayle has shown she has too much loyalty to dudes just coasting till retirement. I'd grade her lower but at least she has no intentions of moving the team. She just has no idea what she's doing and trusts a bunch of lackeys.

FO: "D-" -The front office is arrogant and doubles down on bad decisions. Game has passed them by.

Coach: "F-"- The coach is among the worst in the NFL.

QB - "C-" - QB is a mediocre, polarizing career loser.


They changed none of the important four things. Everything else is just shuffling chairs on the deck of the Titanic. A D is a generous grade IMO.


Hiring a new OC is a positive step, but I'm not really impressed with Kubiak's past results. Not blowing future draft capital is a major win, so there's that. Continuing to extend old players is a bad move though and not biting the bullet and getting rid of Carr was dumb. But the worst is bringing back Allen. Just laughably bad.
