Legit question: What's the Saints record if they were healthy? Because I think you can make a case that they would be 6-2. They looked to be one of the best teams in the NFC the first two weeks of the season. And I know, "but it's the Panthers and the Cowboys". But how many other teams are dropping 40 burgers on them like the Saints did. Only Washington (6-2) did against the Panthers, and Detroit (6-1) against the Cowboys, both pretty good teams. That puts the Saints in very good company.
So, by all indications, a healthy Saints team let by DA was a pretty good team - this year.
But they haven't been healthy over the last 6 games. And they did lose the last 6 games. So, is the issue really with DA, or a lack of depth due to an out-of-control salary cap? And, if it's injuries that we're looking at 2-6 and not 6-2, why all the fire DA posts? Seriously.
If he's lost the locker room and maybe he has after 6 losses, sure. But none of us know that. Now I'm not pro-DA or anti-DA, but I don't see the point in getting out the pitchforks for losing when you have a 5th round rookie QB behind backup backup backup O-linemen throwing to rookie 5th round and UDFA receivers - that's a preseason game 3 2nd half roster going against regular season NFL starters. I'm not sure why you'd expect anything else in those circumstances.
