Average O at best, yes, reasoning- not really evolving. If you look at (The greatest show on Turf) their played well for a few years and have done nothing since. A good example of evolving is New England sure they have a turnover rate as any team does but overall are in the hunt more than not, and in my opinion if we don't evolve with the changes of the game we will be the Rams and not New England. For me I like being in the hunt, year in and year out since Payton got here with Brees but there is a window and if the O gets stale there needs to be a change not drastic but a few moving pieces.

New England struggled this year. Gronk was out, they gave away players, their model has not been consistent. If the Pats were a NFC team they would have not made the playoffs this season.

The Greatest Show on turf that won a SB in 1999 was a fluke.. Dick Vermeil did not go on to do bigger or equal things, Kurt Warner didn't go on to do bigger or equal things.

Average is a comparison to peers and we are not an average offense when compared to our peers.

The 2009-2013 Saints have been consistent when Sean Payton was the coach.

You talk about making changes and evolution but that is exactly what happened when Spags was brought it...

If it isnt broken, dont fix it. We are not broken we just have not had as good of a luck streak as we had in 2009.
