You were satisfied only once in the Payton/Brees tenure? Why bother watching football?

The Saints only won 1 Super Bowl with a HOF QB and potentially HOF HC. They're not easy to come by. The Giants were a 9-7 wildcard team and won a Super Bowl. If you're in the playoffs, you're competing.

I think you took that wrong. I was perfectly happy and satisfied during that era because I never felt like we had no chance at a championship. Even the end of 2008 when we finished 8-8, it felt like there was more in there and that things just hadn't gone our way. That was before the Super Bowl. But there was something there and I know everyone could feel it.

I haven't felt that way since around 2020. I felt like we could probably make the playoffs but weren't good enough to make waves once we got there. After DAs first year, I didn't even feel like we had a chance at the division. This is not satisfactory to me. This is how Browns fans feel year in and year out. This is what Payton and Brees took away for 15 years and I will not go back quietly. I want more than the 23rd best QB on the 23rd best team. I don't want to sneak into the playoffs by winning the worst division. Call me spoiled by our recent success, but I don't want to settle for the shallow victories of division titles, I want what the Eagles just did. And I want the team to have that as their goal as well and to take the risks to get there even if it explodes in their faces. And ripping up the team and the cap and starting over is a risk. Kicking cap money down the road for old declining players and that 23rd best QB is not.
