Level of Excitement

Not excited at all this year. I don't expect them to be very good. I also don't see much hope in the future right now. Not much of a core there. Hopefully i'm wrong.

Also, i don't see how being realistic about the team makes you less of a fan. Objectively the saints weren't great last year. Pointing that out isn't anything ground breaking or even being negative. It's being realistic. I don't think the saints did much this offseason to change that. i guess almost all hopes are on kubiak.

Your opinion is not reality. It's certainly welcome and differing ideas add value to a discussion. Some people are optimistic about the season, some people are pessimistic about the upcoming season. Being either doesn't make you more or less of a fan. But let's be clear here. Being pessimistic about the Saints chances doesn't make your opinion anymore "realistic" or valid than people who are optimistic about the season. It's just a different opinion as a Saints fan. We are all entitled to voice how we feel, but remember others are also entitled to have an opinion on what we post as well.
