Snippet from Peter King's MMQB:
 

6. On a given day the Saints can be the best team in football. They have the best defensive line depth in the NFC, a great back and a quarterback who plays some great games. If Aaron Brooks screws his head on right, and they stop making the dumb turnovers and penalties (which have been a staple of this team in recent years), they're my darkhorse Super Bowl team. But those are very big ifs. Which is why I'm not even picking them to make the playoffs. I think they'll be 9-7, maybe 10-6.

How frickin true is this??? (rhetorical) We do have one of the most talented teams in football, with one of the least talented coaching staffs. Can you imagine what Parcells/Bellichick could do w/ this team?? It'd be a New Orleans dynasty.

Snippet from Peter King's MMQB:
 

We don\'t have \"one of the most talented teams in the league\". We have some talented players, a bunch of mediocre or average players, and a fair amount of below-average players. Just like most other teams in the league.

Snippet from Peter King's MMQB:
 

Unlike most teams in the league we have a whole lot of talent on both lines and at every skill position on offense. Peter King shows again that he actually knows what he is talking about.
