Something to Ponder: RB Taken in when Saints already had a top RB pick..

I was looking for the WR I believe Ditka drafted or signed later that had animal parts in his refurbished knees...I'm not kidding. Once I read that I knew it was going to be a long season.

I know Ditka had a horrible win-loss record, but I do not think he set the franchise back at all. He did well at building the front lines up, got a great running back, but unfortunately never found the QB to get it done. The year after he was fired the Saints actually did something, like win a playoff game. The reason is Jeff Blake was decent and Aaron Brooks did a nice job too. All it took was decent play at the QB position and the tables turned. I believe if Ditka would have found a decent QB, the Saints would have been champions much sooner, and perhaps still coaching the team.
