The best Saints blog I have ever read. Almost 2 years old, and yet everything in this article still rings true. The writers also predicted them to go into cap hell all the way back in 2013.
The article sums up every problem going back to 2009 and the toxicity that came under Williams' system that we still are dealing with.

I'd LOVE to see Tampa win the NFC South. Jameis Winston IMO is going to be a better QB than Cam Newton in a few years. He's a more accurate passer who don't overly rely on the #1 target.
I've seen this script before with the Saints losing a bunch of very close games that were arguably winnable. The next thing coming is the blow out. Oh yes, we're going to spanked in one of the next few games. Atlanta too. You keep losing nail biters like that, you eventually get a game where you are flat out beaten down.
This SNF game sucks but I am dreading Seattle next week. If they are shut out here, watch them turn around and take all their rage out on the Saints on the road in our dome. Saints fans saying "we got this" are like LSU fans screaming "we want Bama!"

From that same blog, this is gold...
What old Hall of Fame QB will the Saints 2016 defense be compared to with passer rating?
This part though
QuoteQuestion: Who would throw for more yards against the 2015 Saints secondary, Wax Montana or Broadcaster Marino?
Also, all jokes aside, that break down about 2008 is pretty accurate...We had a decent secondary that year and finished 8-8. That year is often very overlooked, but that was where our secondary got better leading into 2009.
And this part...
QuoteYou know, this one isn’t so bad. The Saints’ defense wasn’t that terrible in 2006. It was streaky, pairing nice performances with bad ones, and that’s a performance style that makes Cam a good fit. The Saints held up pretty well until teams started targeting the aged version of Fred Thomas and Josh Bullocks, the original Payton-era disappointing free safety.
Shout out to Fred Thomas; proof that before 2006, we did have some decent defensive players.
But even funnier, Josh Bollocks...There you go, proof we've had Jason David type disappointing safeties going all the way back to 2006. Every year we have one of those guys. This year it's Jarius Byrd. Last year it was Browner, before that; Patrick Robinson.
