And Hazlett is coaching an XFL/USFL team now. At least Carl is still in the league. If he did help Geno Smith in Seattle, maybe he's not so bad after all.

Right.

And he's been so critical of QBs (even Brees) in NOLA over the years.

Forget "Cajun Cannon", I prefer "Mr. Choke" as well

.

Aikman has a radio show up here & he quite often mentions players & teams he hated playing. Giants (Lawrence Taylor & Co) & of course the Saint's entire LB core & swarming secondary.

Too bad Bobby Hebert never had that killer instinct in the postseason @ QB because the defense was legit.

I would say the best Saints team was the one that beat 3 HOF QBs in Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, and Peyton Manning to win the Super Bowl, not the other good teams that were eliminated from the playoffs by the likes of Alex Smith or Jared Goff + Refs. The 2nd best Saints team was eliminated by Jared Goff + Refs but the 2009 team would not have let it be so close against a middle of the road QB and obviously had a more prime Brees. The 2011 team was all finesse and not ideally suited for playoff slugfests. Sometimes finesse teams win it all but a slugfest with SF was not good for us.

We need a better mix of smash mouth football and finesse to win championships. Payton played smash mouth football in the trenches and was successful though.

With all due respect to the Super Bowl championship team, and your opinion bako, I believe you are over playing the Hall of Fame angle from that season with respect to the playoffs. Kurt Warner was a shadow of his former self, and his team was 10 and 5 in 2018. The Jeff goff-lead Rams were 13 -3 and by most measurable statistics he had a much better year in 2018 than Kurt Warner did in 2009. I’m not trying to be argumentative, but you’re blowing off the impact that the refs had on the playoff game is incorrect in my opinion. If the Saints don’t get that call against them, they win their second Super Bowl and their legacy changes. Just my opinion of course. I think the 2018 team would have beat the 2009 team.

And Kurt Warner is still a little salty with regards to Saints.

I would be as well. The hit was clean because the QB is just another player on the field after he throws an interception.
Man... He got wrecked.

I tried to fix the title but I caught the mistake too late. At least it isn't Breast Saints Team.
