Last night I was thinking about the Saints and about our offseason improvements. Let me restate that! "Potential" improvements.

After much thinking I came to one conclusion. And the conclusion I came to was: Bill Parcells is right.

Bill Parcells has a saying !! The saying is ....

You are what you are!!

And here's the way I see it ...

The New England Patriots are the best team in the NFL. Anyone disagree with that?

The Eagles are the best team in the NFC. Anyone disagree with that?

The Colts' offense is the best in the NFL. Does anyone disagree with that?

I think there is little to no disagreement with any of those statements?!

Now let's carry that kind of logical reasoning over to the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints have the worst defense in then NFL.

The Saints have one of the worst running attacks in the NFL. (26th)

The Saints have a QB (Aaron Brooks) who has yet to establish himself as one of the better QBs in the league.

We have no proven LBs on our team.

Jonathan Sullivan is our staring DT and is totally unproven.

So, in conclusion ... We are what we are. And that's an 8-8 team.

I'd like to think we're going to improve our 26th ranked rushing attack.

I'd like to think Brooks is going to establish himself as one of the better QBs in the NFL.

I'd like to think to think our defense is going to hold most of our opponents to under 20-pts. per game.

All of the those things need to happen.

The question(s) is ... which of those are more likely to happen? How much as our offseason paid off for us?
