How good are the New Orleans Saints? That question is harder to answer now than it has been in several years.

It was one year ago on March 2 when the Saints' world got knocked off its axis by the announcement of the NFL's bounty crusade against the team. And clearly, the Saints never found stability as they struggled through a 7-9 season without suspended coach Sean Payton.

Now Payton is back. Most of the bounty punishments have been served (except for the loss of another second-round draft pick, which will have the most lingering effect of all the sanctions). And the team is excited about moving on and starting fresh in 2013.
