1. Upgrade at QB (brooks to Brees) 4 stars
2. Upgrade at RB ( McAllister healthy, bush as relief) 5 stars
3. Upgrade at WR( Stallworth was good but Colston is a quicker younger version)( plus copper and Henderson have been huge)
4. Carney kicked a personal best 46 extra point this year, that means more scoring
5. Sean Payton!

Just because a team does bad the year before doesn't mean that they couldn't break out and become really good teams. New Orleans added the few components that they needed to start winning. The biggest addition was Brees and a new coach.
Look at Baltimore for instance. Pretty much all they did was add McNair and they went from not making the playoffs to being second in the AFC. Sometimes there's not much that separates a team from being great and being bad.
I've been an Indy fan for a long time and have seen it with them. They started out 3-13 with Manning. But one year later is like a 12-4 record.
Tampa Bay sucked for years and years. Who'd have thought that several years ago they would win the Superbowl knowing how they always used to play before then?
The point is, never give up on your favorite NFL team no matter how much they suck because next year they might be playing in the Superbowl

3 answers:
1) Sean Payton. He cleaned up the team, and has kept it that way.
2)A little luck. Reggie Bush not getting picked first, and Colston in the last round.
3)Heart. Sometimes when everything is going wrong, something has to eventually go right. Louisiana has always loved the Saints through everything. Now the Saints have finally loved us back.
How would the league have anything to do with the saints winning? Are you saying that it is a set up?

I'll laugh in your face too! Especially since the Saints won't win the Superbowl! The Colts will beat the Patriots and the Saints will beat the Bears and the Colts will beat the Saints. Write it down!

Obviously because of Drew Brees over 4000 yards passing and of Deuce his running games been good and you cant forget about Marques Colston 7th rd pick who would have thought he'd be any good and of course reggie Bush

Mainly Sean Peyton coach. Reggie Bush . Drew Brees.,
Coulson. Deuce is a load and the defense not bad either
now that my team is out , I am rooting for them they have a shot at it.

You have to remember, we dont just have Reggie, we also have Deuce, DEvery, Mike Karney, Terrence Copper, and others who make our team successful this year.....not to mention Sean P., he is a damn good, smart coach. This is why we are so good all of a sudden..not to mention the Who dats are back and we make it a little hard to win in the dome now!! GEAUX SAINTS WHO DAT???

brees,bush,COLSTON...and a new sense of confidence. when a team believes they can win, they will. even if on paper other teams are better, the team that plays together wins together. plus the D isnt that bad...

last year was such an emotional and physical disaster that they weren't nearly as bad as their record made them look.
They are getting and incredible rush from their fans.
