re: Outside of QB, who has the better roster: Saints or 49ers?

As usual, the locals' perception of the Saints relative to other teams is amusing, but this is a fairly reasonable thread.
Disagree with DL immensely. The Saints have nothing remotely close to Justin Smith (3rd in DPOY voting), and Sopoaga/McDonald/RJF are half of what allows the beast LB corps to be freed up. In time the LBers (Ahmad Brooks being the wildcard who would have to step up) may be the greatest assemblage of talent at that position since, coincidentally, the Dome Patrol. Fangio has been one lucky SOB. Dunno how the DB is a push either; we aren't elite in the back 4, but the Saints are blegh.
Basically for me the Saints are better at every position group on offense, and the Niners are better at every position group on defense.
If you take out Brees, in non-Saintard land, the Niners clearly have the better roster. He's the one who makes that offense go.

I agree about the DL completely. That being said, if the Saints are unequivocally better on one side of the ball (offense), and San Fran is unequivocally better on the other (defense), how does it work out that "the Niners clearly have the better roster," especially when the Saints have a much bigger advantage at the most important position in the game?
Sounds like someone has a little hometown bias too

I don't agree with RB's the Saints win, like others have said adding Jacobs and LaMichael James to the mix gives the 49er's the edge IMO. Hunter was a solid backup to Gore last year.
