Question: Are the Saints closer to a Super Bowl or a total rebuild?

SubmarineMike said
I think this is the question right here:

1. DA and KK, to their credit, built a team that, when healthy, would have been a SuperBowl contender.
2. DA and KK, to their shame, built a team that was thin at nearly every position and not built to sustain a playoff run.

But I think there are other questions that have to be asked. Who are the great players who would have provided depth we are missing out on? Who has been available on the offensive line that would have been an improvement. Do these players even exist?

I believe the Carr signing was the best player available - is there a QB we could have taken that would have been better?

Is there a better Offensive Coordinator we should have brought in instead of Kubiak?

If we are rebuilding, what do we rebuild with? What is/would be available? Is a "rebuild" truly feasible?

I don't see how any of the depth issues fall on Kubiak. Dude's the OC. He's not the GM, not the HC. The Saints being willing to trade back with the Rams and skip Bowers and Fuaga, then trading up to draft a CORNER tells everyone exactly how much influence Kubiak has on who the Saints are drafting and signing.
