That is, especially after Brady retires, there is not a single other team in our division that can say they are in better shape than us. Atlanta stuck with Ryan...Carolina? Tampa with Arians and no Brady? My point is it’s not like there is a KC or a Buffalo type team that’s poised to be good for the foreseeable future.

Point well taken, actually for the NFC South I would agree the playing field will be fairly level. For the Saints keeping as much of the Defense together will be paramount. For the Offense of course Kamara and Thomas will be key players to hold on to if possible. With Sean's departure could lead to some players heading out the door. Funny thing though just a few days ago we were all caught up in the QB problem, now it seems like the lid has blown off the Dome..

Well said RailBoss. We might be in the process of a rebuild and reidentification for the next year or two.
