Definitely. In 2005, we had a ravaged city, a broken stadium, a fractured fan base and a 38 year history that had only 5 playoff appearances and only 1 playoff win.
Now we have a respectable postseason history and a Lombardi in the trophy case and not to mention a future first-ballot HOF QB in Brees as an ambassador and a former coach in Sean Payton who stayed on for 15 seasons under this same management.
