This year. Unless one is terminally negative then it is never.

You're entitled to your opinion but it's hard to take a view like yours seriously when it's continually sunshine and rainbows. I could understand it coming from a 5 year old.

Facts

Saints 2023 schedule was ranked the second easiest at .427

Let's look at Dennis Allen's "first winning season".

Saints went 9-8 thanks to wins against QBs Gardner Minshew, Tyson Bagent amd Tommy Devito.

Saints won 2 games thanks to wins against the worst team in football the Carolina Panthers who only won 2 games and by a whopping total of 4 points.

Vegas currently shows Saints are a favorite to go UNDER 7.5 (+100).

On to 2024.

The soft reset. With ageing players and an eye to the future, Saints have begun to wind down from their "win now" approach. Not saying it's right or wrong but it'll impact the roster.

2 of the 5 starting offensive lineman are in place. All others are unknows. Yes, Fuaga is likely to be a day one impact starter (maybe for the next 10 years) but behind him is more uncertainty. TBD on LT/RT, and LG.

Entirely new offensive system and staff. It'll take time to gel.

We're counting on big performances from old players. Cam Jordan. 35. Demario. 35. Mathieu. 33. Taysom. 34.

Will Chase Young pan out?

So many questions....

It's been said Saints have the second easiest schedule again this season. But they're factoring in playing 2 win Carolina and 7 win Atlanta twice.

Just look at the schedule and you'll find:

First 1/3rd of the schedule is brutal.

Second 1/3rd of the schedule they play 3 games in 14 days.

If they survive that gauntlet the final leg of the season follows a bye week and we COULD be in a decent spot for a playoff game.

I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic.

Now, putting on my realistic but POSITIVE hat...

The influx of younger talent bodes well for the future.

After his first winning season, Dennis Allen may have figured some things out.

A entirely new offensive staff and approach. We've been clamoring for that for years. It's gotta be good for the team.

Our defense is still dominant.

Rattler. Saavy move. Could be the future.

NFC South still a weak division.

We have 6 draft picks in 2025.

Yay. Championship.

You don't think Jake Haener is tailor made for Kubiak's offense?

Listening to Underhill speak on both QB's, it appears that Spencer will need to be less reckless with the ball, limiting poor decisions & subsequent picks. There is no denying his arm talent though.

Meanwhile Jake isn't known to be the most athletic, however his strength IS his decision making ability & protects the football.

This should be an interesting battle for QB2 in Kubiak's offensive system.

I do and in fact I posted about it when Kubiak was signed.

I think you need to see what both can in this offense.

I'm liking what I see at OTA's. I can't wait for training camp.
