How Good Sean Payton’s Terrible Saints Defenses Have Made Opposing Quarterbacks Every Year, Ranked
It’s not quite fair to say Sean Payton’s Saints have never had a good defense. They had one, once, at least after you factor in all the magical takeaways, and that year they won the Super Bowl. They had a couple others that weren’t disasters.
But for most of the last decade, Payton’s defenses have defined terrible as definitively as his offenses have defined excellence. They have often made opposing quarterbacks look good — really good. Margin for error in the NFL is primarily a product of how well your team’s quarterback runs his offense and how badly you can make the other team’s quarterback perform. The Saints have had a Hall of Fame quarterback. The problem is, they’ve spotted their opponents with Hall of Fame quarterbacks, too, consistently turning the likes of Alex Smith or Marcus Mariota into Joe Montana and Dan Marino. Here’s a look at the NFL quarterback whose career passer rating is most similar to the passer rating the Saints’ defense has given up, ranked from worst Saints performance to best. It’ll give you an idea of how ****ty the Saints have made life for the greatest quarterback they’ll ever have.

Pretty sure most of us have been saying that the main man himself needs to be looked at, he keeps hiring these guys.
The offense has gotten better in the recent weeks but the O line is still pretty bad, a slow start was to be expected with 4 young wide receivers but the defense is constantly letting us down, every year. |
