Anyone that claims that Demario's age is a detriment to the team completely ignores that fact that others still see him as one of the top players in the league at any position.

DeMario's age is a risk factor for his decline and makes it highly unlikely that his play could significantly improve. Its not that he isn't good now. Its that at his age there is a major risk of an abrupt decline. If we had a linebacker of similar present ability who was much younger, the odds of decline would be lower, and the odds of some sort of ridiculous Lawrence Taylor / Ray Lewis career year that leads the team to a ring with a historically good defense would, although unlikely, be possible.

Even Mickey Loomis has basically said this that, that DeMario thinks he can play forever but they realize his age and the uncertainty that brings.

LOL!!!! There aren't even a handful of LB's can can play at the level of Demario today! You are so full of ****. :D He's one of the top three or four in the entire league.

Bako, why do you feel you have to try and piss on anything even remotely positive that anyone posts about the Saints?

Your right. And if we look at the NBA for example LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama are both exciting players performing at a high level. Which would you rather have in 5, 10, 15 years??? Nobody knows. Its a complete mystery. There is really just not one number you could look at that would give you a clue of their likely career trajectories going forward.

Also, there is an edit button, so rather than 2 consecutive posts on the same topic, feel free to edit and add to your existing reply.

I feel the need to be real. There is no health or life insurance carrier that will offer the same rate regardless of age in a free market. Realistically everyone knows Davis is older and accepts how the world works, even Mickey Loomis. Reality is not negative, its reality. Davis is as the the top of his game but he is no spring chicken and we can't play for him to do this forever.
