But remember the Saints were dysfunctional when Payton arrived, so disfunction may only stop lesser coaches. We have definitely upgraded at WR which is why I dont predict a .222 record though it could happen. We lost 2 pro bowl level players in free agency. A lot will depend on injury and perhaps suspension so if everything goes right we could win but I feel we have a lot of risk. Our qb is coming off an acl. Michael Thomas has not been healthy in 2 years. Cameron Jordan is getting old and Davenport is brittle. Our 3 biggest free agent signings all come with injury concerns over their careers. Taysom Hill is $10 million of glass and we cant sign a real TE because we have to justify his salary. Kamara could still be suspended and the offense has struggled with him out. Our quest under Mickey Loomis to have as few draft picks as possible has left us with an older and less deep roster. If everyone stays healthy we could win it all if Allen has a great second act as head coach, but Allen’s first act was weak and we have accumulated a lot of injury risk.

Oh, & I'm nitpicking here but MT overall health (3 games all of 2022) is closer to 3 years now

There are multiple post(s) threads relating to MT but no one seems to talk or report much about his current health.

Only time I hear from Can't Guard Mike is when he has posted a cryptic tweet

Here's a suggestion, post more videos out in sunny California cutting on a dime, running a post corner, catching a pass from some high school kid at a random stadium and whatnot.
