Saints' former first-rounder Sullivan overweight

Saintfan,

For the record, I had some idea what you meant. I just wanted to see what you\'d say.

I think Carolina is a good question. While I don\'t follow them too closely (except when we play them), it seems to me that they are not an Elite team yet. They do have good coaching and good starters, but I\'m not sure the backups are there; also, a lot of guys played well for them last year who were at the time not proven players (thus, I think we\'ll need another year of good production from them to show that are also good players and not simply players having a good year). So, I do agree with you that luck played some role in their success.

Of course, I\'m also not suggesting that elite teams will just win: good players have bad days, good coaches make bad decisions, injuries occur, and of course, there is a bit of luck (the ball takes an odd bounce, the wind is blowing at the wrong time, the ref has his head up is azz, and so on). That is why they play the game and not show each other their rosters.
