It feels like forever since the Saints have been relevant
Its the cycle of the NFL, some teams like the Patriots buck the trend and will dominate in extraordinary fashion, but more often than not, you will be good for what, 5 maybe 10 years maximum (once you find your franchise QB to pair up with a great HC) then you will spend probably spend just as long trying to find such a thing once again, we got to experience that, and you could very well argue we were elite for almost a decade and a half, its time to pull the ripcord and start a new. The problem with our team is that this front office refuses to do so and is trying laughably latch onto whatever remnant of what this team used to be, instead of starting over from scratch.
tl;dr im with you, i havent been this unexcited about an upcoming season in almost 20 years, and thats saying something.
