What Howard (LOL) knows is that he\'s played in the NFL, and that while the Saints teams he played on were certainly not \"great\", they weren\'t disaster areas, either...and there was probably at least some of the same kind of stuff (bickering, arguing) going on on those teams as there is going on with the Saints now. So he probably doesn\'t necessarily see such \"discord\" as being quite the kiss of death that we often consider it. Likely as not, from both being in the league and knowing so many people around the league, he knows that even the best teams usually have at least a few people in the organizations who can\'t stand each other\'s guts, and they still find a way to all work toward the same goal. So until this incarnation of the Saints prove that they can\'t possibly pull that balancing act off (they are, after all, 2-2 and not 0-4), he\'ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
