2) the BS with Drew's contract. I don't think Drew attending OTAs would have made a difference today but it certainly wouldn't have hurt. We wound up giving Drew what he wanted (and, in my opinion, deserved), so what the hell was the point of the delay?
3) finally, losing Porter. I don't think he's as good as he was a few years ago, but he's shown tonight he can still play at a high level and we are extremely short at corner.

I don't know. I am not an expert in personnel by any means but it seems like these were some errors that may cost us this year.

I dunno but I can tell you this and what I have thought for a few seasons now in regards to who we sign and draft.

I honestly dont believe a bulk of our talent could ever make it on another team as full fledge starters or have success like they had here in New Orleans

We have seen a couple exceptions like Tracy Porter, but we knew he was decent here in New Orleans.

But we have seen talent go..................BZZZZZZZZZZIP the moment they left, plenty of it in the Sean Payton era.

The only guys on this team that could ever start on another team is very minimal.

Its basically the system we got in place that allows this team to succeed to the extent it does, or has. I fear the day and seasons when that ugly head rears up to where you see exactly what that talent really is in the shadows. Today I think we have seen it.
