Gonna be a longer year for Saints??

With our season being questionable with the troubles @ QB, its really bad (at least early on for the Saints). Maybe they'll end-up with a shot at one of the franchise QB's next year as a Brees' heir apparent?What we learned in the Saints loss to the Patriots is quite a lot

The AP or AD as you know him is no more. The jump-cut is there. The agility is there as is the vision, but the burst is non-existent. There was a pitch play that he converted for a first down (barely) in which he struggled to get to the edge on what can only be assumed was a well-blocked play. After looking as though he was running in sludge, Peterson was finally able to turn the corner and stretch for the marker with only inches to spare. That same play, with Ingram in, is a 1st and about 2-3 extra yards or more. The quicker Sean Payton relegates Peterson to a clean up role and features Ingram with some Alvin Kamara mixed in, the better the offense will roll.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I thought AD was going to be good until he was 40?

Don't even go there. I can't even imagine that. Ugh. As far as the Saints are concerned, I wish them irrelevance.

Haha, yes and I think that was the 7-9 Seahawk team IIRC.

If they play teams with struggling offenses and average defenses, they'll do fine.  But strong D's will stifle their weak run game and force them into catch up mode.  And they can't keep up with the likes of the O's of the Falcons, Pukers, et al. 
Payton will be looking to move on once Brees takes a hike.  And AD?  Well, there's always Cleveland.... ;)

Best thing for the Saints would be Brees moving on, so they can start the rebuild.  They have so much money invested in their offense already for next year and that doesn't include the 30 million Brees is going to want.
