If people start calling for Drews head like they are Seans we deserve to go back to the 1 to 2 win seasons we had almost every year before. Back then the only thing fun was the draft and we even screwed that up.

LOL! You would have us revisit the Haslett years? Payton may not be perfect but good gawd man. You could have at least thrown in some of the winning seasons we had under Mora to maintain some credibility. You're off in lala land if you think the early 2000's were a better time for this team.

I never said they were better. But Carolina and TB have found their way back in the mix. The NFC South is a division of parity. Vick and Ryan for Atlanta. Delhomme and Newton for Carolina. Gruden/Winston for TB. We were knocking on the door of making playoffs before Katrina. Look at how close most of those losses were in 2005. We would have had 10 wins if not for Katrina. And trust me we have already set a precedent for QBs to want to play here post-Brees. But I will say this nostalgia is bad. And sometimes the only cure for both parties is to start fresh. Brees has a better chance with other teams.

I was basically acknowledging the fact that we were not a 3-4 win team right before Katrina. And it's not like Delhomme and Williams was not in our lap. I don't think our org will ever be stupid enough to draft a read option QB, including a Manziel. This org is always going to model their QBs after Brees. Just like Big Ben is modeled after Bradshaw and Romo after Aiken.
