Who knows? Next year it could be New Orleans. We went 8-8 in 2008 before winning the Super bowl with a 13-3 record. Yeah. Yeah. I now we suck. How is that possible? The answer is Kubiak bringing some swagger to training camp next year could fire up this team, which is on the west coast this summer and the change of scenery could be good for the boys.

I am cautiously optimistic again about the future of the franchise and have hope for the future after such a disappointing season last year. I can't help but feel like the people who don't see that the future looks bright are being Debbie downers, and aren't giving the new personnel a chance to change the direction of the Saints back to Super bowl contenders.

Edit: Hopefully, everyone gets to enjoy the ride this year and the board goes back to being fun again. I remember being excited about logging onto the bng rather than the feeling I have now when I have a certain amount of trepidation about how tense the place will be.
