That is simple-minded on a Dr. Seussian scale as implied in the Twitter post that I posted.

I agree with this 100%. The Saints aren’t being judged by the moves they made, but instead by the idea that they should tank because they aren't a "true contender" in the eyes of the media. Prior to that everybody said we needed a QB. We got a 4x Pro Bowler. They said we needed help at RB. We picked up Jamal Williams, league leader in TD's last year. We retained an All-Pro WR. We let a bust walk at DE. We've added depth and competition at Safety. Our interior defensive line got bigger and stronger. It's ridiculous.
