There's no reason to guarantee a shitty 3-5 years when your division is currently terrible and you have potential to host a playoff game/win 3 games to make the super bowl. If we were in the AFC North the rebuild would have already started. You people that want to tank while we are winning the division are legit fricking retarded.

But that is my point...What is the point...So the Saints win the division in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The are the 4th seed and host the 5th seed which is likely the 13-4 or 12-5 Cowboys or Seahawks...Maybe 2 times they win that game but they are not then going to SF or Philly and coming back with a "W" and then doing it again next week.

In the NFL you fall into three places.

1) Super Bowl Champs
2) Ascending to Championship Level---This last for a few years and then ends...We were here 2010-2017.

3) You are rebuilding...Winning just gives you a worse draft pick and a harder schedule the following year.

Yes winning the division and next year you get Philly, San Fran, Detroit guaranteed.

Can you point to any examples in the last 20 years where a team that would be below average in any other division in football....they won their shitty division and actually won 3-4 games in the playoffs?

People act like blowing it up and rebuilding is such a sure fire way to be successful. It takes a lot of time and patience which doesn’t exist in the NFL typically. We can do a soft rebuild while also continuing to compete in a weak division.

There’s also no reason for a rebuild to take 3-5 years. The Texans were a disaster the last 2 seasons and currently 4-4 and have a better outlook for 24 and 25 than the Saints
