I mean other than maybe the Eagles if you lose your entire starting defense that kinda hurts.
I think the Bears are probably better but what 6 wins?

They don’t have a draft pick until pick 67. They only had one in the top 60 last yet (Nik Bonitto). It’s very understandable that Payton wants his scheme run a certain way and is overpaying for average/decent players due to no significant draft capitol.
I think what he’s doing is smart. For as bad as their OL was, they got two serviceable OL and one of the better blocking TE’s in the league.
Sean Payton himself said they needed to “take Russell off the high dive”. Protecting him better than the garbage OL is common sense but they are going to run the ball more to help Russ.
It’s funny bc Russ wanted to “Let Russ Cook!” but that didn’t go well under Pete, it didn’t go well under Hackett and now Sean Payton is putting a stop to it.
The Broncos remind me of the Russell Wilson Seahawks in his last 2 years there, although I do think Sean Payton is a better offensive coach than Pete and his staff.
Those Russell Wilsom Seahawks teams of late won around 9-10 wins and were a WC. With our division I think that’s about what to expect as the ceiling.
