Saints are rebuilding before our eyes...

Actually I give credit to the front office for realizing that we are in the early stages and foresight of rebuilding!!! I see signs of this team in rebuilding mode. Cap starting to be a problem for the saints and the talent level just not getting much better and the help needed at DC and OC level... hmmm. Leads me to believe we are transitioning into a rebuilding phase and not calling it what it is -rebuilding-. Trying to keep the the parts of the machine that works in which gives you a 'good' product on the field week end and week out, while acquiring projects that develop... With this theroy... one can hope... that overnight we'll have all we need to ride the team to a SB win. Aside from the Patriots seems its become more and more of dark horses that rise up for that one special year to win it all and then take a dose of harsh reality and come back to earth the following year.
With some key players aging and the addition of players who are going to be replacing them in years to come, its not a bad philosophy to keeping the Saints in position to make the playoffs year in and year out. Which many moons ago we could only dream of being 8-8. 7-9 and Saints fans were elated, now 8-8 brings mysery.
So the Saints are settling for many years at 8-8... working and tweaking the the machine in hopes to have a SB run... maintaining a decent product on the field isn't a bad theroy if you go back to the early days and bask in the days of ole'.
