Six franchises heading downhill

I'm positive that when we circle the drain it won't be until we make a deep play off run. Oh, and thanks for keeping it positive Will.

The only way I would be scared of the article is if Drew was no longer our QB. The whole problem for them is that he still is and I do not think we will be playing with our 5th stringers all year.

I'm willing to bet all 6 teams make the playoffs this year

Stupid time of the year breeds stupid articles. Nuthin' means nuthin' until the pads are on and the clock is runnin'. However, on a positive note, those writers do need to feed their families. Glad to be able to help them out.

No, really....

YARDBARKER, FAIL.

Drew Brees may want to play into his mid 40s. That’s great in theory, but father time pretty much catches up with everyone. At 38 years old and coming off the fifth 5,000-yard passing performance of his career, Brees is still playing at a high level. That’s really not the issue here. Instead, New Orleans has failed in every way to surround him with a roster capable of contending in the NFC.

So, you are saying the current roster is doomed to fail? Forget the past. Look ahead. And, yes, father time does catch up with everyone. It is just that he is likely not to catch up with Brees until his mid 40's.

In todays NFL, there's no such thing as windows closing or "heading downhill".

Teams go from good/bad to bad/good every year.

Very few teams remain consistent anymore.

Obviously the Browns and Patriots are the current exceptions. I suspect in 5 years or so that will also change.

Danno, are you saying that in 5 years the Browns will be playing in the Super Bowl?!
