I believe there is a misconception. Because the word that most people don't believe they'll make the playoffs with Carr...
If you told people that you had 100% affirmation that they make the playoffs. They would be excited, but you can only sell a bait and switch for so many years till people rightfully want wholesale change. We are possibly going on our 5th season without a playoff berth.
What objective indication that they are closer to a playoff berth now vs. 4 years ago when Brees retired with a more talented team. You can only handoff the blame on injuries for so long.
It's results based business and the results have been bad with team that doesn't have a lot of young blue chip ascending talent.
